Interesting weekend, I suppose.
The Fencing Club had a seminar, basically a concentrated session with less people in which we talked about such high-brow things as tactics and timing as well as the fine art of poking people and getting away with it. This was tiring, but interesting: I have learned, for example, that I have a long way to go before I become a halfway-competent epeeist. Looks like some more training is in order.
Since the next day was Sunday, Fouad, Dom and I went off to Ditchling Beacon for lunch. The food was ... okay, nothing special and a little pricey, but quite edible, and the views were lovely.
I have spent most of the evening wrestling with the Linux logical-volume-manager, a tool that allows partitions to be split or combined across multiple physical devices. I am using it to assemble an 80GB partition and a 120GB hard disk into a single device. We shall see how this turns out.
The parts of the evening which the LVM did not occupy were mainly occupied with making cookies (yum) and puzzling over the sharp thing in my boot. Many theories were advanced when I told people of it, but they were all wrong. Some may remember the toenail incident a little while ago: well, now I have no nail whatsoever on that toe. It just broke off. No pain at all. Weird.
