M-x replace-string boyfriend fiancé

We returned last night from Mont-Tremblant which is a few hours north of Montreal. I had a great time, the snow, while not as deep and fluffy as one would like, was deep enough to ski all day. I even tried snowboarding. That turned out to be a too little tricky for me and I quickly decided to stick with regular skis. We also wend for a dog sled ride through the woods which was really amazing, the dogs were adorable, hyper and so friendly.

My boyfriend then presented me with an engagement ring. It wasn't sprung on me however, we had gotten unofficially engaged over the holidays but this kind of made it official. We will get married early next year if all goes according to plans. I am quite happy ;-)

I do not know what this means for my computer studies. I know it will mean less time in many cases, but I am pretty stubborn sometimes and actually get upset with myself if a week goes by and I have learnt nothing. Perhaps I can make my fiancé a geek which would solve everything :-)

The hotel we stayed in had free wireless but I was unable to connect to it under linux. I could see the AP's with iwspy but it reported that it was an 802.11b network and my card is an 802.11g, I am not sure if that was the problem or it was my /etc/network/interfaces file.


# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp


# home wireless #auto wlan0 #iface wlan0 inet dhcp #wireless-essid EAC #wireless-channel 6 #wireless-key ea5ab771eb58606c654241g462

# Fairmont Tremblant wireless-essid datavalet wireless-channel 6 wireless-mode Ad-Hoc


I wasn't sure what to put for wireless-mode and I suspect Ad-Hoc is incorrect, but not being able to google at the time it was difficult to figure out. I might install something like gnomes network manager to handle this in the future.
