A rough account of what I did with Emacs recently.
March 9
The Tale of Despereaux:
the trailer is a bit more promising than the movie, which has a
voiceover and a few didactic overtones, but on the whole it's
quite a bit of fun.

I had an odd issue with a shared Google calendar I'd created: of
all the people who were allowed access, I was the only one who
couldn't actually see it. I got it sorted out today by removing
and re-adding my own account to the calendar using another
"admin" account, but The Brother had already tried that
so I'm not sure why it worked for me.
March 6
Movie rewatched: Wedding Crashers. Admittedly I
wasn't paying too much attention this time around as I was engaged
in conversation.
March 3
Franklyn is... odd. I guess
it's pretty well done and all, but it's one of those dual
storyline movies, except it keeps the stories separated so long
that you kinda spend too much time wondering when and how they're
going to mesh.
March 2
Terminator: Salvation:
isn't particularly bad; in fact, it's a fairly acceptable action
movie by itself, with the exception of the needless Precocious
Child Who Is Vital In Some Pointless Way. What really lets it
down, at least for me, is the number of sly back-references to the
other movies: whole lines of dialogue, and visual motifs like the
motorbike versus truck sequence which may even have gone so far as
to ape the camera angles of Terminator II. Still, I guess
it does what it sets out to do: it's a bubblegum
movie.

Reinstalled the CVS server on the Cube. I should really package
it up as it's fairly handy to do so in a reasonably independant
fashion.
