Kubuntu 9.04 alpha 4 came out yesterday and works worse than alpha 3: the touchpad doesn't work. (This is in the release notes, but can't be fixed while the network is still broken.) Thank you for your suggestions, none of them worked. I am currently on Windows and it's icky.

Today's music is Bullshit 3¼, a 1970 prog album in Hebrew (with titles in English) by Danny ben Israel. The music is deeply fucked up and smoking remarkable quantities of crack in all sorts of ways. It could be just what I needed.

Nice lunch with nyecamden today. Unlikely to have a date this weekend, as the house has mice (we have two cats. What on earth do they think they're doing?) and I have all the cupboards to clean. Also doing another Extreme Room Shuffle.

I hope to make Bisexual Underground on Tuesday — anyone else?

I've been arguing with ubuntu to get fonts to look right. arrgh. that took too damn long.

[reddragdiva]

Mac or forget it. Really.

Yeah, sadly. Though I've made progress with doing
fontconfig-config
then
fontconfig
as root.

(I use a bitmap Monaco in my xterms)

The Ubuntu at ork does a passable job of fonts. I keep vaguely meaning to see what it's doing that stock Debian isn't. (But I've slaughtered enough chickens into my ~/.fonts.conf on the latter that I rarely care.)
