Listening to the Red Elvises, a sort of gypsy-punk band from Siberia, on their soundtrack from the movie Six-String Samurai. The music was by far the best thing about that movie. That, Supersuckers' "Must've Been High", Satan's Pilgrims' "At Home with ...", and some Cocteau Twins and Mazzy Star are all the music I feel a need to carry in my USB key.

This Dell Latitude D620 does a funny thing when I turn it back on after swsuspend2 has done its work: it ignores that headphones are plugged in, and just plays through the one tinny speaker under the keyboard.

lkcl: Monotone doesn't care what SQL database it uses. Plug in PostgreSQL and see how it goes. Nathaniel says Hg is fast even though it's in Python because it's organized entirely around the blocks moving to and from disk. I doubt any SQL database offers enough control to do that. Over and over, though, the world changes and what was faster than the database way becomes slower. (I wonder what happens when you keep the SQLite volume on a flash key.)
