And now for something non-political...
Ah, there's a new kernel out. I'm running Debian Stable so it will be a while before it trickles down to me.

Since I've got an Nvidia video card and I'm a lazy bitch, I've been using the pre-complied kernels. I load them up via Synaptic and all is glorious... except when there's a kernel update. I've been waiting for over a week for the Debian folks to post an undated Nvidia kernel. It's a minor irksomeness to have an update that I can't use yet.
I could download the update and recompile it myself, but I'm reluctant to fuss with a generally working system. Ubuntu has an easier time dealing with these issues but it's bloated and has switched to Pulse audio. No thank you - ALSA/OSS works just fine for me.
We shut off the analog transmitter at work today. It was a bit of a cluster f*ck but it's done. Off the air television is all ones and zeros now.
