Finally some pictures!

I had rather a dull weekend. The high lite of the whole thing was dressing up the penguins.



I am particularly fond of the utility belt. One of J's friends referred to the Red Hat wearing penguins as "ABOMINATION!!!" every time he walked past it. Ok, the guy hadn't slept in at least 36 hours, but I guess Red Hat is not his distribution of choice.

Here also I have pictures of the alpaca sweater I am knitting for myself and the alpaca it come from! I spun this yarn some time ago and have been agonizing about what to make out of it for ages. I finally settled on a pattern and got started, and so far am very happy with the results. It's going to be a fairly small, light thing, perfect for spring, and I have enough yarn left over to make another sweater! Hurray! I've already got the pattern picked out for Lacy sweater #2. It's a vintage design, and will be more tightly knit so I don't have to wear quite as much under it.

Out of curiosity, why don’t you run Yellow Dog Linux on your iBook? I realize the upgrades are somewhat limited (more RAM, replacement HD, replacement SuperDrive) but the iBooks run YDL really well.

At this point, mainly becasue the going theory is that the soldered in RAM has gone bad and this is my primary at home system. Don't want to mess with it any more than I have too until I have a new main system.

That brings up an interesting question though...yellow dog outfits for penguins...
