Brilliant!
National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day
April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Day, which is January 24th. The origin of this holiday is unclear, but the earliest internet mention of the event is on the Smucker’s website from 2002. Based on the company’s copious production of both peanut butter and jelly, it is possible that the Smucker’s company itself invented the holiday.
Roxane’s torus fracture
Yesterday, Roxane and I went roller skating at Ethan’s birthday party, and near the end of the afternoon, Roxane fell. She cried for a few minutes longer than her typical, “I got hurt.. I’m OK.” Roxane and I debated on whether she needed or wanted to see a doc, but we decided to go to have someone take a look. Turns out that she does have a mild torus fracture of her radius, which is a compression of the bone without a clean break line (I drew an arrow on the x-ray). Roxie is currently in a splint and ace bandage, but might get a cast in a day or two. She is not in pain, slept fine last night, but we still need to go see an orthopedic doc.
I love you, Roxane!

mshuler@kokopelli:~$Clean Debian Lenny KDE Install (cont.)
Well, since I didn’t have a whole lot of time invested in my install as in the previous post, and since I did not quickly sort out why the heck I could not suspend/lock with the KDE power manager widget, I thought I would give the weekly build of the Lenny KDE install disk a try to see if I got any decent results. As it turns out, the install is a nice selection of default KDE software, and suspend with desktop locking works out of the box – this is definitely the way to go 🙂
As for any KDE issues I’ve found, the only one that I can think of is that KDE v3.5 does not support URL link opening in a browser from Konsole (this is new in KDE v4.1) – seems it can be done, but it might be rather messy, so copy/paste for now.
Amarok simply rocks for managing the data on my new iPod – music and cover art sync work perfectly (with the gtk-linked libgpod3 (not the -nogtk package)), .m4v MPEG4 video file uploads work well (transcoded from XviD .avi’s using mkipod from the mp4tools package, and id tags updated using mp4tags from the mpeg4ip-utils package). The new iPod Classic 120G Gen6 and amarok are the big reasons for giving KDE a try (yeah, I could have just installed amarok under Gnome, along with the necessary libs, but I needed an excuse to give KDE an evaluation)
Later!
