Good morning! Welcome to Advent! We're back from Mass at St. Patricks and breakfast at DFE. Claire, Timothy, and Daniel were altar servers and I was the lector. There was some of that awkwardness that is probably across the country with the new Mass translations. “And with your spirit…” Nevertheless I liked it. The complaining I hear seems minor.
Tim tells me that Linux Mint 12 is out and wants me to update the kitchen netbook (aka Michelle's machine).
Went with Abby to drop our house guests off. Having their friends over for a couple of nights kept the girls from getting bored on their five day weekend. Meanwhile Tim and I have been working on the kitchen netbook (aka Michelle's) to put the lightweight ArchLinux on it instead of Linux Mint. I've finally got WiFi working but need to figure out suspend/resume.
Got a suspend to RAM working but Michelle's netbook boots so fast, it's almost not worth the effort. Did some tweaks to personalize it for Michelle and downloaded a few YouTube videos for testing its video playing ability.
Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Was surprised to get the call to pick up Claire at 9 o'clock. Some days the after hours cleanup seems to drag on much longer. Did some more tinkering on my own laptop. Sad to think this is the end of my Thanksgiving break. It was fun while it lasted. Tomorrow it's back to work!
