I've been re-learning French a bit since perhaps September.

I've started reading Terry Pratchett since perhaps last week.

I've been following the collapse of awful things, as one does (Twitter, crypto, etc).

Note: elitist liberal, not liberal elite.

So, my tech support issue has been solved. It only took 8 days in the end. (Eight days would be bad if I was a paying customer, but for free service I think it's acceptable.)

Plus:

  • Putting academic life back on track
  • French classes
  • MFC (non-)news
  • less /proc/kcore
  • Teh WIPOpolltamus
