So, a reasonably productive day.

To the doctor in the morning, to be told that I'd had not only a MRSA infection but also Citrobacter freundii taking up residence in the broken skin that got infected; after some +5 antibiotics of doom, I am now believed to be free of both of them, so anyone who was thinking of sharing towels with me need not worry any more. I still don't know where it came from. Apparently people can pass it on to you without showing any symptoms themselves, though.
I stayed home afterwards because it was really rather too late to go in, and worked on the new self-serve tax system. It is going to be so awesome when it's all ready. I stayed working on it from then until one, when we went to the mall, and then on coming back until about seven o'clock.
At the mall, we ate a cheesesteak. I also had my beard and moustache and hair trimmed. The barber (she told me that she was technically a barber because she wasn't qualified to do manicures) said that I hadn't been taking care of my hair very well, and that four to six inches need to come off. Eventually we compromised on her taking three or so off today (I am feeling a bit lacking in the hair department now), and me promising to come back in a couple of months when my hair had grown some more and she could take the rest of the damaged part off. I worked on revising mutations while Rio got her hair cut.
I'd thought the upgrade of spectrum from sarge to dapper went without a hitch. I was wrong! Today we powered it off to look inside, and when we turned it back on, X didn't start. Turns out it had been running XFree86, which doesn't exist in Ubuntu, so there was no X server installed. I have now configured xorg well enough that Fin can read zir email, in a lowest-common-denominator sort of way, but there are still local colourmaps and things (which takes me right back to 1994), and I'll be gradually trying to improve things next.
We talked to Plexq on the doorstep when he brought Rio back for well over an hour, mostly about politics and things. I may be persuaded to pick up a bass again for the first time in... almost ten years. Watch this space.
This is a really interesting site about Native American language families.
I haven't had a spare moment to look into the FUSA problem where the callback gets called twice. Maybe there'll be time tomorrow. Gosh, is it 1am already? I need to get some sleep.
