Hooray!!! Graduation day came and went yesterday in a whirlwind of academic madness. Two days of commencement ceremonies, family from across the US, a Master's degree, and one beautiful sunny day buried in a week of rainy days.
A full update will soon follow, including massive amounts of pictures, as soon as us bloggers get some rest and recovery (no joke -- we're both sick).
Taking five,
Jesse and Nicole
P.S. openSUSE looks pretty great, and Jesse is currently seeding the ISO, thanks.

The Big Crunch
Hey all!
Life is crazy! Graduation, finals, job interviews, management training, hectic schedules at awful hours, Jesse forgetting his wallet and cell phone in China Town, and last but not least... terrible, horrible, awful Windows, which minutes ago caused a massive anxiety attack in this here apartment 813.
Windows Vista -- and most Microsoft products -- is a smelly, unmitigated dog of a piece of software. For a fun evening, try saving a spreadsheet in Excel 2007 and importing it into PowerPoint 2007. Yay! What, you wanted the ENTIRE spreadsheet, not just a random (and I mean random) amount of unformatted cells? But both pieces of software were developed concurrently, within the same company, and as critical components of the world's most used office application suite. Surely they must work well together?! Stay back a minimum distance of 3 BSDs.
Also, Nicole broke her cell phone a little while ago, so we have to share our SIM card between one phone. Renewals / extensions / upgrades / retail price / etc. / yikes. Who makes up the prices on these things?
Otherwise things are doing fine. Grades look good, the dog is healthy (if not dumb as a brick), the weather keeps improving, and as I sit here, eight stories high and deep within the concrete jungle of Manhattan, I can smell barbeque. Ahhhhh........
Speaking of which, let it be publicly announced: Jesse is the future king of outdoor grilling. End of story. He will become the greatest of all time... if THEY don't stop him first.
Jesse has started taking a tumbler from home in an effort to reduce our waste. We're very conscious of our daily output, and have fully embraced green living as much as our limited budget can afford. We're taking small steps now but our intent is massive. Go Jack Johnson!
Also, Jesse got punched in the face at work by a local homeless man after an altercation in Jesse's own damn Starbucks. Fun, huh?
Firm believers in the superiority of Unix-based systems,
Jesse and Nicole
P.S. Our dog sits like a doofus.
