  Between all of the Linux drama that keeps rolling through my RSS reader, to
minor drama that keeps popping up in retro/vintage computing communities I keep
watch on, I've been keeping offline a lot as of late. Having to deal with the
foot injury over the last couple months (which turned out to be a foot ulcer)
hasn't helped matters, but it's healing nicely now that I'm able to have some
proper downtime (and keep that foot propped up), so that's gotten my mood a bit
higher.

  And I /do/ mean I've been staying offline. I've kept myself busy with some
retro gaming (Pokémon Red/Blue, among other GameBoy{, Color, Advance} games),
reading, and just relaxing with some music. Also YouTube videos, but that's
been on my phone, not on my laptop. Otherwise, I've kept myself relaxing, and
just trying to keep myself going with everything that's been happening around
me.
