Usual oatmeal breakfast. Patrick wrote lyrics today. Edited Folsom Street Fair photos. Archived documents. Brunch at home: hash browns; omelette with grated cheddar, red bell peppers, green onions; hot water. Early dinner at Taygiang Restaurant (415-682-8886, 2543 Noriega Street, San Francisco, California, USA) with Patrick. The food at Tay Giang is slightly above average, and it's great that there's a very large menu. Tay Giang could improve immediately by training waitstaff to be more attentive and personable. Tay Giang could improve in the long term by completely remodeling the interior which clearly was not designed properly and currently isn't very inviting. Home. Had fun reinstalling and reconfiguring Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on the Dell Inspiron 700m that Sam gave back to us because he couldn't use it. I was surprised to find that Ubuntu has the same 2-finger scrolling feature that Apple MacBooks have on the trackpad. Installing some things (Brother printer drivers, VLC, KeePassX) and upgrading Firefox were a little painful, but I have it where I want it now. I'm still very impressed with Jaunty, particularly the keyboard shortcuts and accessibility.
