I forgot to bring a book to work today. It was awful. At least 3 out of the 6 periods I had to be actively involved with the kids. I read the entire Mercury News, except the Sports section because I just plain don’t care. There wasn’t much to the newspaper today, I even read all the crap about the Academy Awards. The Tech Monday section mostly was talking about how to be ergonomically correct while using a handheld device. Booooring….. I did enjoy the front page article about Tom Campbell though.

I don’t think I’ll get to read tomorrow because I’m teaching elementary school PE.

What to do with the rest of my evening now? I’m frustrated with fiddling with Linux because even the simplest things are a pain in the ass. Changing the refresh rate of my monitor for instance and getting a resolution I want. My monitor is a little temperamental I think, but still, I have to edit a configuration file and basically guess and check every refresh rate at a resolution I want. It wasn’t flickery in Windows, and it’s not flickery at 1792×1344 resolution, but that is way too small, even for me on a 21″ monitor. I may try a fresh install with some different options, maybe put on KDE and get Enlightenment on there later. I’m still going with Gentoo for now, but I am thinking about Peanut again.
