As you folks on Facebook will know, via my never-ending barrage of status messages involving the fact, I've been messing with different flavours of linux and different window managers. I gave up on FreeBSD, as far as GIR goes, (that's my computer) and switched back to Debian.

Unfortunately, during the switch I lost everything on my hard drive... Nothing terribly important, but still disheartening.

Anyway, now I'm using Ion3 as a window manager. Tabbed, and 'tiled'... Very fun. There's three frames there in that picture, two with tabs.

Ion3 isn't the prettiest of things, but it is, for me, very usable and efficient. I'll never have to touch the mouse again.

I'm considering installing Arch linux, rather than Debian. Package manager is better, (no annoying schedules and old releases) smaller, more modular. I honestly don't know what I'm getting myself into, really, but I bet it will be fun finding out. (That's why I do this, you know.)

Anyway, on to real life. Rehearsals fun, singing sort of ok I guess, (my singing, that is) etc. Only thing I remember of note was just the other day, when we were lowering our halberds (as we had been instructed) and a siren went off. To quote Yeoman #5, (I know his name, but you don't bwahaha) 'We need those sound effects.' Not a direct quote, but hey.
