I did feel pretty "gras" by the end of yesterday I have to say. Had some lovely pancakes with Amanda before heading over to Karen's for a murder mystery night. Also provided was a three course (!) dinner with, yes you guessed, pancakes for dessert. Yum, but fat.

So, today's Ash Wednesday of course, first day of Lent, and this year I've given up a few items that probably have some hold over me: caffeine, chocolate and sweets (barring mints - that would be unfair on those around me[1]).

Laptop is currently installing 10.1 beta 5 (well, it's probably asking for CD3 at the moment, and will simply have to wait till I get home). After checking that the partitioner wouldn't blat my existing /home, I realised that I wanted to redo my whole partition table anyway. So, I ended up backing everything up onto weasel (Amanda's machine) and removing all the Linux partitions before starting over. Have to say that the new bootsplash theme is pretty gorgeous.

[1]And to be honest, being around me while I give up caffeine for Lent is unfair enough on them...
