Tá mé go maith. (I am well).
Getting fadas (acute accents in Irish) on my Linux systems proved to be simpler than I thought. I altered the keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look like code behind cut

My weekend here
mia_mcdavid is in Michigan for the weekend and the first couple days of next week. Her aunt died after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s. She has posted about it, most recently here.
I cleaned off my workbench this morning, and am trying to make some progress on at least some of my unfinished projects. Quite a list
Ending the year with computers

A Mac is an elegant and expensive alternative to a Windows machine. Linux is another alternative to Windows, as elegant as you care to make it, and free.
Thanksgiving
Not exactly a day of rest
Progress on various fronts
Friday Night and Saturday
I must have been exhausted: I went to bed at 8:30 last night and slept until 9:30 this morning.
It has been a pleasant day in a low-key kind of way. Progress on various fronts for the house and colgaffneyis, and spending a lot of time with mia_mcdavid.
Mia wants me to make a weaver’s bench to sit on in front of her loom. So we went to the Textile Center in Minneapolis, where there was a loom just like what she has here and a bench that she finds comfortable when using it. Key dimension: Height 25″.
One bit of geekery: I got the streaming audio from “A Prairie Home Companion” to work under Linux (Slackware 12). It hung with Firefox, but worked with Konqueror (under Xfce). Different plug-ins. I should look into this some more, but for now I have to give a point to the KDE team.
All in all, a good Saturday.
