Yesterday was a bit hectic at work, with back-to-back tests going from 
morning to afternoon. The morning commute did not help my mood. I was 
grumpy from the start of the day. 

I know that public transportation systems provide a service to people. 
But in Austin, Texas, Capitol Metro is a big pain in my ass. On my route,
the bus stops are placed at the corners of intersections. As a result, 
a bus will be onloading/offloading passengers when the traffic light 
turns green. By the time the bus has moved on, I am caught by the red 
light. I guess that is the price I have to pay for being gainfully 
employed. I know: First-world problems, and all that...

This morning is better. There are only two events scheduled for the 
lab today. It will be less chaotic around here. I should be able to 
work from home tomorrow and Friday. :)

I learned something new for me concerning the terminal. The 
'Backspace' key may not function as expected in a GUI. But the command 
'stty -a' reveals which control character performs the 'Erase' 
function. Likely, it will be ^? or ^H. It's a journey, learning to do 
things from the terminal. But it is satisfying.
