first day back

So I spent a week at the beach with family. It will shortly blur into the approximatly half a year total I've spent at that same beach-side campground over the past 25 years of my life, and is nothing to write about here. Except that I feel a bit guilty about doing that so soon after coming back from Brazil, and so soon after starting work. Skolelinux has not gotten enough of my time.

But hey, I'm pretty relaxed, and have some better perspectives on some things, and nothing went badly wrong in my absense. So I've been catching up on mail and writing some rather long replies that I'd not have thought to write a week ago.

I may be an incurable sci-fi romantic, but I can't believe the crap I've been hearing on the news instead of any followup on the really significant thing that happened while I was away entertaining the seagulls, mosquitoes, and sand flies -- the SpaceShipOne flight. Pity I missed the coverage of that while the story was still on the radar, I can't wait for the next one.
