\nThe box I shipped to myself from Japan just arrived yesterday. It was
\namazingly undamaged. I had some winter clothes, shoes, books and other
\nboring stuff in there. But I also had my underwater housing for my IXY
\ncamera and the gifts I got from my department. My department gave me a
\nnice ceramic lamp for my birthday and a Japanese curtain (‘noren’) for
\nmy going-away party – so I guess they don’t hate me… but I’ll never
\nKNOW! < -- that bothers me.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nOh, and my coworker brought me back this freaky Thai statuette from his
\nbusiness trip to Thailand (cuz I helped w\/the English in his
\npresentation). When it’s not giving me nightmares, it’s pretty cool.\n<\/p>\n

\nToday, I read and played video games. Ah, the good life. I finished The

\nbeen setting up. “Dillo” is cool, and it’s super lightweight (thus
\nrunning easily), but guess what one of the main uses for this computer
\nwill be? Hotmail. *shudder* Okay, so I had to find something that could
\ndo more complicated websites and not require any more than 32MB of RAM.
\nMinimo looks interesting, but is at version 0.1. I chose Opera. Plus,
\nit supports mouse gestures, which I love.\n<\/p>\n
\nmuch figured out apt-get<\/i>, but a higher-level program
\nis recommended for package management: dselect<\/i>. I’ve
\nnever been more confused by something that should not be confusing, at
\nall! After not being able to figure out why it would not install the
\npackages I had selected (I tried maybe 5 times), I gave up and
\napt-got<\/i> them with no problems. Huh? I thought they
\nwere suppose to do the same thing?\n<\/p>\n
\nworks!<\/i> Uh huh.
\nThe first two bugs listed on the dselect man page:\n<\/p>\n
\nusers. Reportedly, it even makes seasoned kernel developers cry.\n<\/p>\n
