Someone referred to this short guide on one of the lists for how to install the newly released Flash Player 9.0 (final version) on openSUSE.

Home!
Amanda and Callum have come home. It’s really exciting to get the little fella back where he belongs. Now, let’s just hope he sleeps through the night… Update: Of course I don’t actually expect him to, but I’m all for wishful thinking…

Wednesday
Things I have done today that I had never done before: Bought baby clothes Changed a nappy Dressed a baby I also was annoyed by an idiotic car park (originally typed carp ark) attendant.

Monday

The GIMP in Ugly Betty
Watching the second episode of Ugly Betty and in the sequence where they’re retouching the photo shoot, it’s the GIMP that’s being used. Problem is that I’m pretty sure it’s doing things that it just couldn’t do. Ah well, all exposure is good, right?
