So... KDE Neon melted last night, and
I had to install basic Xubuntu to get a
working desktop again. I love KDE, but
the instability of Neon just killed it
for me. So I'm taking the time to give
`ratpoison`[0] another try.

Tiling window managers being as simple
as they are, it works really damn well
with my setup. `feh` for displaying a
wallpaper, `xcompmgr` for compositing
and transparency, and `urxvt` for my
terminal. I've also got Firefox and my
other GUI apps, but most of what I do
is CLI or TUI anyway, so it's not going
to hurt keeping to that. lynx, emacs,
mpd, pulsemixer, bashpodder, toot...
So many great pieces of terminal
software to choose from. Plus Dillo.
Dillo is awesome.

Only 6 days till I turn 34... I feel it
all over, too. I'm going to be getting
a teeth cleaning and fillings this next
week, and four teeth to be extracted on
the next Wednesday after that, so this
Christmas is going to be a painful one.
But, it needs to be done. Around 2/3 of
one crown is missing, and another is
wide open on the side, so despite the
lack of pain right now, it'll happen
eventually.

At least I'm not dealing with outright
illness right now.
