...oh I believe in Yesterday! I do - I was there, it really happened.

Morning was 'fun'. There was a coffee morning at college, part of the welcome assault for new students. I was planning to go but also hoping to not get rained upon. When the rain stopped I seized upon my chance but had barely got to the end of the road when the heavens opened again. Still, it was nice to meet some of the new arrivals.

Popped in to see Steve and Ali on the way home and to meet Grace who was three weeks old yesterday - she's tiny!

Did some housework in the afternoon, I'm doing what I'm calling an Autumn Clean (since it's not Spring right now) and then started looking into my wlan issue. In addition to the mailing list thread I linked to the other day, I posted one of my own. Turns out that the wlan-kmp-* packages contain quite an old version of the ipw3945 module (even in Factory) and the way that the packages are built meant that I wasn't able to simply rebuild the IEEE802.11 subsystem and module and slot them into place (the ieee80211* modules are also quite old).

Need to find out if we can get that package and the kernel package updated. Time to post a bug...

Update: It's now bug #202619.

Congratulations to Michael and J. on the arrival on Mirriam Julia Mercy. One question: What channel had back-to-back All Creatures... at that time of night?
