I heart ubuntu. If you have any questions you can't find answers to, you can ask me and if I don't know I can ask my techies.

As for the new lifestyle thing, good luck. I will happily nudge you, should you need it.

I've managed to more or less be Nineite all over the Tubes, so if you see such a profile on those sites, it's me.

Also, we're making an effort for christmas cards this year. We need a snail mail address for you to send you pictures of kitt... er, the card, yeah, the card. So whatever method you feel most comfy with, leave info?

oh good luck! i'm waiting till the stress of this freakin' grad program is over with to start my NEW plan AGAIN. i did something like that when i finished undergrad like 4 years ago, and it was working wonderfully until i started school again. school stress=sucky lifestyle choices i think.
