What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I finished Spanish 103 yesterday. The test was pretty easy, but I think I messed up the order of my direct and indirect object pronouns. I also forgot to change "le" to "se" when using direct and indirect objects back to back. Oh well.

I still haven't figured out quite how to get the whole thin client thing to work on old laptops. For now, I'm trying out just a "fat" client installation of FC Linux on the hard drive and using rdesktop. It is pretty fun to see my operating system in spanish.

I'm excited that I might have three replacements for I-life web developer next year. I'm meeting with Matt Febus and Matt Wondra tomorrow. Derek Moy wants to help, too. I should email him. It's going to be interesting, trying to train them over the summer, since they will be at LT. But I can always mail them code and documentation and stuff, so I think this will work.

I have to get back to work. My thinking break is over.
