OpenOffice 2: Default letter paper size
I recently downloaded OpenOffice.org v2 and am quite happy with it. There are just two problems I’ve found so far. One if that the cursor sometimes shows up wrong.

Back from vacation
As you can make out from the post below, I’m back from vacation. Since we’d both been slacking off just before we actually went on vacation we hadn’t gone through the trouble of planning and making reservations for a trip of any kind. Initially we thought about going to Cuba, but that wasn’t do-able on […]
