The first day of the trimester at work, and I've got an 0800 lecture...
for the one (inherited) subject I dislike teaching the most. Bah. And
the projector in the room is squirrely. Aaaaaargh! And the room is
generallylousy. Double-bah.
And my brain is fogged up enough so that I'm quite sure I'm making more
of a hash of the subject material than necessary.
Sorry dear students! My best efforts at 0800 today weren't really quite
good enough.
What a lovely way to begin the week!

Yesterday Eric Rohmer died. A pity, I liked his films a lot (especially the
contes des quatre saisons and the comedies et proverbes sets).
However, György Palfi is Not Dead - and I heartily endorse
his film Hukkle to anybody
who likes subtle films. It's really, really nice.
His second film, Taxidermia, is pretty cool as well
but quite a bit further into the odd realms of the universe.

If you are using spamassassin without sa-update you
will not like to hear that as of 5 days ago spamassassin has
pretty much declared open season on all your mails:
Due
to an incredibly gross and dirty bit of rule all properly dated
mails get an extra 3.6 added to their score. kablam!
Botch/Fix: edit /usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cf
,
and change the regexp for FH_DATE_PAST_20XX to something that doesn't fire
in the near future (like 20[2-9][0-9]). Don't forget
to sa-compile
if you use compiled spamassassin rules.
