The semester being finished, I finally upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu, and for the fun and experience of it switched to KDE, which I so far am enjoying, especially Konqueror. Small adjustments, etc. I do most of my stuff on the command line anyway. Also using the break to do two things iKve never done before: set up a home mail server (which, if it works satisfactorally, I will switch to from my several-years-old gmail accout - not crazy about Google anymore) (I’m trying a ‘turnkey’ open source groupware suite called Citadel, which has its roots in BBS software), and readin Anna Karenina, which I’m only some 120 pgs into but am enjoying, though I only have real affection for one of the characters, Levin, whom Tolstoy evidently modelled very closely on himself. The book makes me crave champagne, because all the characters drink it all the time.
