Gentoo upgrade time

Saturday: Upgraded Gentoo (emerge --update world) on my server box; it stopped at postgres and said I needed to manually upgrade the database files, which was weak. Anyway, not really a big problem, just pg_dumpall before and pipe the data to psql afterwards. It also wanted to install X, but I tweaked the USE flags (-arts) and it gave up on that.
Sunday: Made it to the second meeting at Northgate only; Honey didn't go, she wasn't feeling well.
So, we're starting to think about things we need for the new house; first off we need a washer and dryer, which we're thinking of getting from the same place the sellers did: a Sears outlet that sells refurbished units. We probably want another bed (although we do have one inflatable double bed) for a spare bedroom (if there's one left after the exercise room, computer room, piano room, etc.), although that's pretty low on the list. More desks for the computer room (this pullout has done well but now it's time to get organized), a kitchen table, another couch, beanbag chairs for the basement, more bookshelves, possibly a ping pong table... time to prioritize and budget. Probably need a lawn mower after not too long, too. A house affords some permanence, a place to really set up the way we want.
