Well, missed a few days of updates. Long days at work, and then I had to do fun stuff like build myself a custom kernel so I could get X running on the Ti 4600, which I hadn't bothered to do before. But I was thinking that it would be good to be able to rip some CD's, and the best tools for that are on Linux, so I needed to get around to restoring my Linux install to GUI usability.

Anyways, lunch Thursday and Friday was at China King Super Buffet (or some variant of that; it's really rather unclear what the official name is). Dinner Thursday at P.F.Chang's, and Friday at Carrabba's (I had the Tagliarini Picchi Pacchiu, mostly 'cause it has a funny name). And today, I had Satisfaction's pizza (meatball and italian sausage) after my stop at Millennium Music.
