Stuffs

Wow, some dude was a total dick to fejj... The guy posted only one possible rational argument... Amazing
I don't really think fejj's first reply was that great, but it's easy to understand why he posted it. Oh, I see. They're all flames, but that's the way things go sometimes.
I REALLY like Evolution, although the snapshots that Ximian is making kind of suck ass. Speaking of which, I need to ask Robin if he's had time to hack on a simple build-script, so that I can feed tinderbox.

biking

Biked to work today, although I got a flat about nine miles into it. It was raining, so it was really hard to get the tire dry enough to get the patch to take at all. Of course, I didn't check well enough, and missed the piece of glass that was embeded into the tire. I got a new one tonight, but I grabbed the 650 tube instead of the 700. Rats. I'll go back, since I need to give them grief anyway. They need to replace the heel pad on one of my shoes, since it's already fallen off. I need to swap the tube for one the right size, and I need to get a real patch kit... the kind with glue, not just the pre-glued pads. The pre-glued ones are nice for weight, but they don't seem to work nearly as well as the ones with the rubber cement. I actually talked to the mechanic down at the bike shop (I've given up on Bike and Hike, since they don't keep the sales guys busy enough, and they tend to intercept you before you can talk to the mechanics). River City Bikes is where I'm headed lately, and this mechanic helped me find the good tires. This one looks pretty nice, and we'll see how it holds up. It had better be nice, for $50...

Work

Busy, drat. I wanted to be less tired when I got home today, so that I could do some job hunting. Alas, I barely had enough energy to sit in front of the TV.
