Scriptions
Today I took Alex to the doctor. We basically got all of her medical problems dealt with in one day, in about 2 hours, for which I’m completely amazed. So we have prescriptions for Zoloft and her thyroid medicine, and we also dealt with the whole birth control issue. Fortunately, her prescriptions are pretty cheap, and there’s some kind of program where the pharmaceutical companies will pay for your medicine in certain circumstances, and we’re going to try and get in on that action.
When we were getting the prescription filled, I notice an awesome clock in the pharmacy part of Nambe Drugs: instead of numbers for the hours, it had alchemical symbols! Plus, it was this nasty yellow color that made it look at least 40 years old (though I really have no idea). I think next time I go in there I’m going to ask ‘em where they got it or offer to buy it or something.
As for FreeBSD, I must say, I am liking it better than Linux right now. I’m not sure why although it seems to be more stable and solid. Plus, there’s the whole fewer G’s angle. I don’t have to put a “g” in front of every command I type. That’s gotta count for something.
I’m running 6.0-CURRENT, which means basically bleeding edge “don’t use it unless you’re a developer for FreeBSD, it’ll suck, we warned you!” It’s pretty damn slow right now, but I’m making a new kernel for it as I write this, and apparently I had all the debugging conceivable turned on: spinlock debugging, debug mode, debug symbols, built in debugger, etc. So it’s not very snappy yet but it also doesn’t seem as prone to wacky failures like missed mouse clicks or weirdness. I also once again seem to have found a configuration for my monitor in which it fucks up less, here’s hoping tomorrow it still is behaving well.
That’s about it.
