Nice to be home. I honestly hate work travel - stuck in hotels with no family to hang out with, having to smile too much and keep up long conversations with strangers about topics that interest me only vaguely, eating only restaurant food.

The one exception on my trip was my visit to Eazel. Those were people I was interested in, and topics to talk about that I care about. More on that later.

Last night we ordered pizza and ate in. This morning Lissa and I took the bikes down to the river and rode, then I went for another ride this afternoon up into the foothills. I had new shifters installed on the bike while I was gone. No more leaning down to shift - now I can do it while standing. It's way cool. Guess I'm back to my old self.

mfleming's tip helped me fix the problem I've been having with gnome-db2html3 crashing the Nautilus Mozilla component. The component can't handle relative paths to the img sources. I put a full path into the stylesheet to test, and bingo, no more crash. One more problem solved (well, I need to elegantize the stylesheet a bit beyond my little proof of principle test, but the rest is just workin' out details).
