Writing on the Libretto again at lunch time. I have just about finished my first post on installing Linux on the Libretto. I should have it posted here in the next day or so. It’s looking like a 3 part series at this point:

• Part 1: Installing Debian on the Libretto
• Part 2: Configuration and Software Installation for the command line environment
• Part 3: Details on the Libretto Hibernation feature

I can’t believe that I haven’t found any detailed documentation on the Libretto’s hibernation feature and the BIOS settings. I am trying to figure it out as I go, but I still have some unanswered questions. Maybe I should find a Libretto mailing list or something.

Enough about my computer…

On Monday I took the family out to dinner at a hibachi restaurant. Everything was going great until the cook lit the grill on fire. Julian, my 3 year old son, completely freaked out. “I wanna get outta here!” was all he said. I had to sit with him in the car and eat my hibachi at home from a takeout container. Could have been worse, I guess. At least no one got hurt.

I am pretty sure my wife doesn’t read this, so I’ll say right now I have a little surprise for Valentines day. We’re having friends over that weekend, but I have a little plan for the days leading up to it. Just in case she does read this, I won’t tell what it is. Hopefully she’ll like it.

It has been almost a year since I have started on my Untitled Piano pieces. Have I mentioned that? I am about half as far along as I had hoped I would be. Maybe that means I will finish in 2011. Or maybe it will go on forever, I don’t know. I think I need to work on something else for a while, though. I need to do some improvisational recording to break things up a bit. I have been writing but not playing for too long now I think. It will probably take me a while to get my guitar chops back up to speed – my callouses are all but gone now.

Back to work now…
