Compact saviour of the universe.

redcountess and I visited marnameow and sbp last night. Haven't seen them in ages. Liz showered them with flowers and chocolate and stuff. Marna filled us with dim sum. She has calmly and precisely stepped off the vegetarian wagon.

sbp has allowed me the use of his SanDisk SDDR-31 USB CompactFlash reader. This is the well-known Reader That Works With Everything. Unlike mine. (Which I will still be trying to get working on FreeBSD, 'cos if I do I'll get my name in the relevant source file. Far ++'l33t than that Leegnux rubbish.) And it does indeed just work - no automount on FreeBSD, but I can live with that. The SDDR-31 has been superseded by the SDDR-91; the new model appears to be supported in FreeBSD as of a few weeks ago, so presumably would be in the other free Unixes.

(Camera pr0n for CompactFlash users. Enough shots for November?)

Eclipse have cancelled our crappy non-FRIACO dialup and won't be charging us. This increases my confidence in doing DSL through them.

Tonight is a quiet night in with my darling (you can enjoy Tenebrae for me), and tomorrow morning we hit the computer fleshpots of Tottenham Court Road in search of a suitable PC for Liz.
