The Trinity users list is becoming my entire social life. I also wonder if 
maybe this is not healthy. On the other hand, fewer and fewer people "out 
there" seem to be really sane; and when I must use their computers, this 
worries me even more. 

When I was mostly offline for a few days, trying to migrate from Debian to 
Devuan, I got 44 emails, of which 43 were from the TDE mailing list. 

Tomorrow, at any rate, I shall try to make it downstairs, past the front desk, 
beyond the ice machine, and to go outdoors, maybe even as far as the library 
and the farmers market. Also, I need coffee.
