I have a new font for the titles in my LJ style, Elegante, created by Juan Jose Marcos Garcia. It looks like this -- my pic, I couldn't find any samples online! God knows if anyone else will see it. I have some other cursivish fonts in there. I downloaded it among many fonts, after I upgraded Ubuntu to Karmic, which brought Firefox 3.5.8, which refuses to honor some fonts such as URW Chancery which I was using before. FF doesn't seem to have a concept of 'cursive', either. I also gave up on the steampunk theme for Firefox; the right-click menu was missing stuff more and more.

Otherwise the upgrade went well. Nothing else broke, and the laptop buttons controlling sound started working again!

Well, I've got one complaint; the Pidgin text alerts are different in annoying ways. Not worth describing.

Joke I read: "You know the old joke, who wants to live to be a 100? A 99 year old."
