Ingrid at 5 1/2 months. She looks serious but is very silly, and learning to be a good puppo. Her favorite toy right now is a large plastic pot that an apple tree came in.

She looks cute, but she really has it in for my potted plants. This is our new puppy Ingrid. She's half yellow Labrador and half Great Pyrenees and she's very sweet when not disturbing the peace and digging in my plants.
Rhubarb usually tries to lie on my mousepad and hands, so this nook under the computer is an improvement. Now I can actually move my hands and she's not pressing buttons by sprawling on them.
I got my Palm set up with the drivers so now the keyboard works and it's so dang cute I can't stand it.

Whoa. Pop OS's themes in GEdit are crazy. They are making the text within the <title> and <h1> tags larger, which seems like a nice thought, but they've taken it a little too far. 😲

This is using GEdit's Pop light or dark theme. Other themes are normal.

I'm going to use a different theme now because this makes me feel like I'm in a circus fun house.

This is the hacker cat right here.
Seems like time for a picture of Olaf.

E-book saga: we bought a Kobo Clara e-reader for my husband, thinking it would be a less evil alternative to Amazon/Kindle. But this is a screenshot of part of the privacy policy you have to agree to. Silly of me, assuming that a smaller non-Amazon company would be more privacy-respecting.

I don't know if there are any ethical e-readers out there - I haven't found any yet. For now he's hacking the Kobo to bypass the mandatory log-in screen and try to use the library from there. Goodness.

I need to do some major file reorganizing and felt nostalgic for a double pane file browser. I found this little gem and am just playing with it. It seems to work really well on Ubuntu Mate.

Sunflower

Sunflower is intended to be an easy-to-use and powerful file manager that seamlessly integrates into the GNOME desktop environment (but not limited to) with support for plugins.

This is a new record for Rhubarb the Hacker Cat, sitting on my laptop while I changed the laundry for two minutes. She opened Seamonkey, changed the theme to this sweet silver style, and tried to email a link to the youtube video I was listening to. And fullscreened the original video.
