They&#8217;re obviously already broken, so I have this big<br \/>\nflap of skin hanging off my feet, exposing the way-too-sensitive 5th or<br \/>\n6th layer of skin. Walking induces pain.

I&#8217;m scheduled for 5 days, 4 days of<br \/>\nlesson, and one of fun. I also plan to go to the aquarium &#8211; &#8220;world&#8217;s<br \/>\n2nd largest.&#8221; During my time that *is* planned, I plan on asking where<br \/>\nI can rent a bike, and what kind of places I could sleep at for cheap.<br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to bike around the island for the rest of the undecided amount<br \/>\nof time. I just have to figure out where to put luggage and<br \/>\nstuff.<\/p>\n<p>John (<lj user=\"bokujony\" \/>) helped me get a used underwater<br \/>\ncase for my <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">ixy<\/span>.<br \/>\nI tried it out<br \/>\nthe other night; I love it! It&#8217;s so simple! And it&#8217;s got big colourful<br \/>\nbuttons for every possible function of the camera. I&#8217;ll have submerge<br \/>\nit in water and take mock strangle-victim pictures to really test it<br \/>\nout.&nbsp; I&#8217;m curious what they&#8217;ve been seeing all these<br \/>\nyears&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Software&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/span>I tried out <span style=\"text-decoration:\nunderline;\">gthumb.<\/span><br \/>\nThis is almost exactly what I would want, except when you generate a<br \/>\nwebpage, it doesn&#8217;t include the comments!! I can&#8217;t understand why they<br \/>\nwouldn&#8217;t implement that. Anyways, it&#8217;s a pretty good <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ACDSee<\/span> substitute.<br \/>\nBut, I only find it useful if you use Nautilus, because it uses the<br \/>\nsame thumbnail format as <span style=\"text-decoration:\nunderline;\">Nautilus.<\/span> If you don&#8217;t use Nautilus, then<br \/>\nit has to create the thumbnails by itself, and it seems to take<br \/>\nlonger.<\/p>\n<p>I tried emerging <span style=\"text-decoration:\nunderline;\">gnome2.6<\/span><br \/>\nlast night, finally. It had 117 packages to download and compile. I<br \/>\nslept. This morning, it had stopped with 86 packages left. Damn.
