I bought a DVB-C receiver by mail-order the other day. It came in a box in a box in a box in a box in a box.
I held two tutorials today: the second session of the basic Linux troubleshooting tutorial, which went much better than the first one. Despite the early time (8:30, welcome to the midnight lecture!) about 80 people actually showed up, very few walking out, and I've got at least some questions in between. One participant "complained" that I put into one hour what took him two years to find out...
I'm sitting here in an (moderately) overpriced hotel in Denver instead of the Novell condo in Provo. Didn't catch my connection, United at least booked me to the first flight tomorrow but refuses to pay for the room or even to help me to find one. They told me to complain to Lufthansa. Lufthansa apparently does not have any bureau at Denver, just ticketing, which closes at 5 PM. Anyway, I'm going to apply a high-quality LART to the travel agency -- they should know that 90 Minutes to switch flights isn't enough in Denver -- as the baggage crew is incredibly slow and the TSA thought that three counters are enough for approximately one thousand people (the number is not exaggerated.)
I bought a new bell for my bicycle -- the old one disintegrated Werner-style yesterday. The cap flew three meters with no chance to recover. The new bell is a genuine Mounty Special Billy bell, not a cheap copy like the previous one. Beware pedestrians, this one will make you jump!
