But between gouts of work, there were periods during which I attempted to tweak my Raspberry Pi setup, with indifferent success.

Then there was the hour or so that Galina and I spent driving around, just decompressing and looking for garage sales. We found one, and my only purchase—and therefore, the prize of the day—was a CD case containing 20 CDs of concert and jazz music, for an embarrassingly low price.

One thing I've noticed, is that on those rare occasions where people have bought (and are now trying to get rid of) concert music, it can be generally classified as The Same Old Stuff™. I mean, there are only so many different versions of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition that one can own, although the version I acquired today is not the customary orchestral arrangement by Maurice Ravel, but one in which the piano takes center stage, under the fingers of the great Vladimir Horowitz.

I still have about 6,000 words left to translate before a Monday morning deadline, so I'm going to have to kick my game up a notch this weekend.

In support of which it probably would not be a bad idea to hit the rack. G'night, all.
