1. Where there is a thoughtful, considerate man who loves his grandma, there is a way, even if the software doesn’t co-operate. Awwww!

2. “E de ting”. Ded of teh cute. Awwww!

3. “Giant millworms?” “Mealworms?” (confusion arose from “mealworms” spoken by a woman from rural south-central IL). They’re superworms, of course, but that’s not the point. Bloodworms for a little sick Kütchen Füsh, too, and I never uttered a single word in reminder. Awwww!

Lots of awwww in my day today. Not so much laundry or ironing, but that’s not going anywhere, and awwww…you take that any time you can find it.

I d/led the Intrepid beta and burnt it to disc, but was busy playing with Plus! features and sounds (surprisingly, I don’t recall any flatules), plus I’d forgot, rebooted and cut off copying MiniMe’s /home to the external drive (less than four minutes left, dammit), and then I was using XP so I couldn’t do the install today. I thought about doing it this evening because although I don’t mind using an external keyboard, if I wanted to haul an en-fucking-tire computer around, I’d just pick up my my desktop, but decided just for the hell of it, I’d boot up and see whether any of the dicking around with settings I did this morning had had any effect. I’d enabled auto-login, but the keyring always asks for the p/w before it’ll allow a connection to the router, so I shoved that out of the way and fired up gedit. Lo and behold, I have all of my letters just as they should be. I did so many things earlier today that I don’t half remember, but one of those things worked because it’s fine now. I want the laptop tonight because I’m tired and want to go to bed early (okay, when I finish the goddamned ironing and folding), so I’m not going to log out and then reboot to test and make sure it’s going to stay fine, but I will tomorrow. I don’t know what happened, and I don’t care as long as it’s working again. Okay, openSUSE, you get a pass for now because I’m back to, “Meh, it works and it’s already installed. Can’t be arsed right now to install something else.” Piss me off like that again on a day when I don’t have distractions, though, and you really will be gone.

P. fixed his board, too, so D&D can feed their addictions. Took him forever to manually replace the files that had had the hostile code injected, but he did it. I might fix this, too, though there’s no rush because even at its worst, the code can’t affect anyone who isn’t logged in, and with comments disabled, no one except me can log in anyway. G’head IE exploit…give FF on Linux your best shot. 😉

Pretty good for a day that started out crap and rainy, plus tomorrow’s Friday, and even if it is going to be rainy, that’s okay. I have awwww, I have a happy mantis with a tummy full of “millworms”, and I have every intention of getting pleasantly sloshed tomorrow night. Now, if I can just manage to not drunk-mail L. for once, it’ll be all good. 😆

Oh, and so I don’t forget….call M.!

Score another awwww and make it four; I just got a “Please apologise me I wasnt here long time…” from MiloÅ¡. I used to try to correct him, as he’d asked, but he isn’t around often enough that he remembers between corrections, and besides, I sort of like it. They have an infant, and they’re trying to save money for a house, so he’s working a lot…I understand he’s busy. I’m not at all offended, but no matter how many times I say it, I’ll still get, “Please apologise me”…and that’s all right. He’s a good boy, and I don’t care how bad his English; as long as I can understand, it’s good enough.
