Another day totally dominated by activities related to applying to grad school. Like trying to get my recommenders to send their letters the right way.

It does have its bugs though, at least the current Debian version does.) And :D Josie’s :D back from Spain. She says it was cool, if not totally stress-free. I’ll go see her tomorrow, or maybe Wednesday, depending on when Alessandro “da rock” F. 8) has time. :)
