In which I was a driven person

Today was my mother-in-law Sharon's first day at her new job, so her mother drove us all the way into Philly. I sat in the back of the car and hacked on a fix to bug 96229. It was a pleasant change not to have to rely on SEPTA, and I arrived at work so early I couldn't even open the door.
In the evening I collected Sharon from work and we walked back to Suburban Station. It was only a few blocks and I tried to walk slowly, but Sharon's not used to having to walk and it tired her out.
On the way home I finished my fix. In the new metacity themes branch, you can add six different buttons to a window:

From left to right, they are:
1) Pin on all workspaces
2) Always on top
3) Roll up
4) Minimise
5) Maximise
6) Close
As you might be able to see, I've recently become rather addicted to Tomboy, a Gnome-ish note-taking program, or personal wiki, or whatever you might call it. I have dozens of little notes all searchable already; it's becoming a really useful place to keep my lab notes.
Today, I also discovered a Gnome LJ client called Drivel, and I'll have to try very hard not to stop hacking Metacity and start adding patches to that, because it's really rather lovely. It could use Beagle integration, I think. And it would be good if it could permanently live in the systray rather than just popping up when your friends posted. A great piece of work, generally.
It was pizza Monday when I got home. After that, Fin and I snuggled for a while, and then zie went shopping and I played "farmer, farmer, may we cross your field?" in the darkening park with Rio. Do any of you know that game, gentle readers?
