Winding down


The library is officially closed for the year.  It's going to be
quite a short break, though.  The kids come back on July 25. 
That might sound like a long time, but it's really not.  Plus,
I'll be here all summer.  I'm really debating whether I need to
break out dust covers and things like that.  I'm contemplating
upgrading the research computers to SuSE (http://www.suse.com) 9.3.  I've been using it
on my laptop and my home desktop.  It seems stable and all. 
(Just don't use the default gtk-qt engine).

That reminds me.  Firefox (http://www.spreadfirefox.com) kept crashing on me whenever I would
change the desktop background or occasionally when I would switch
virtual desktops.  So, after all kinds of pointless straces and
stuff like that, I found out that it's the gtk-qt engine. 
Apparently, freedesktop.org people need to update their version to fix
this bug (and maybe they have in cvs, so don't get mad at me).

Anyway, the good news (if you want to call it that) about working this
summer is the extra money…literally two paychecks.  We need a
second car, so this money can go to that.
