TUGboat: edited a short paper by Anita Schwartz on problem solving in LaTeX, and a MetaPost paper by Denis Roegel on kissing circles (the Apollonian gasket, pretty fun).

TeX Live: installed small fix to dvips to avoid embedding of arbitrary files (from Yukata Oiwa), and to afm2tfm to ignore WY elements for vertical spacing (from Werner Lemberg).

Enjoying Nick Hornby's new book A Long Way Down, and Andrew Vachss's Two Trains Running. Also enjoyed watching The Motorcycle Diaries (about an early trip by Che). Guess it was a good weekend for culture.
