Muggy Day
Today was super-muggy. It was 31 degrees, and the atmosphere was so thick that the clear sky was almost gray. The weather is driving the dog nuts. Speaking of the dog, she tried jumping out of the van today while it was moving, right out the passenger-side window. My dad got her by the hind legs just in time. Still, it was a close call... silly suicidal dog.

The rear driver-side bearing on the car was changed today. Hopefully that's all the repairs for this week!

Work went as planned. I started playing with the X.org X-server. It's very similar to XFree86 at this point, but with some very nice additions. One of the most notable ones is the ability to run without a configuration file. It actually generates one on startup with a complete list of resolutions so that xrandr has a good list to choose from. Additionally, the commercial ATI drivers compile against it. I'll have to check the nVidia ones tomorrow, though I don't expect any problems.

Markus asked me to clarify that yesterday's discussion was definitely not QNX versus Linux. That's the thing about blogs: they tend to have an audience, which means sometimes things need clarification.

Had my first ice cap today. I forgot how fond of those things I am!
