Looking forward to the Manson concert tonight, and then tomorrow night,
In This Moment.
However, not looking forward to Sunday. I think two concert nights in
a row will kill me. But, I'll find out if I'm getting too old for this
shit :P

So, my adventures down the Arch Linux hole. Or, not really Arch.
I've cut one of my workstations over to Manjaro Linux. The community
i3 spin, in fact. I've been a pretty big user of i3 for a bit now, but
things I always missed in i3 (Without work) was the cohesive "Desktop
environment" aspects.
No, I don't really need an automounting filesystem. I know how to use the
"mount" command, and I don't like things getting mounted in /media/blah
anyways. But things like nm-applet, status indicators, volume buttons,
etc etc are nice.
Manjaro i3 nails it all. Great, cohesive theming, volume/screen
controls work. All-around smashing job.
I have elementary OS installed on my work machine, mainly because work
needs to be a "Debian-based" OS. But, I just use this machine for
everything, anyways. I do like Elementary OS, though. Pantheon got
everything right to improve GNOME2, and didn't make the mistakes GNOME3
made. If tiling WM's don't do it for you, give Elementary a spin.
