I went to bed rather early last night and as a result woke up at 5am. My cubicle was occupied by 5:45am. I was obviously the first person at work and was able to get quite a bit accomplished before other people started to arrive.

Quick recap of the weekend: I baby-sat a 6-month-old for a married couple so they could watch a movie. He was quite well behaved and is looking quite chubby (he was born a bit premature, so that’s a good thing). I went on a double date (my younger brother was the other guy) and we went miniature golfing, saw “The Singles Ward” and ate at Macaroni Grill. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday I was woken up by a call on my cell from a coworker who was having some difficulties with a cluster install in the Netherlands, so I spent the greater part of Sunday helping him troubleshoot the problem. He called me this morning and told me that it is working now, which is very good news.

I finally got Mozilla 1.0.0 RC1 and it has TrueType fonts enabled. All I had to do was edit mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js and change the following two lines:

pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/true_type");

I also had to put some True Type fonts in /usr/share/fonts/true_type/. True type fonts are definitely more aesthetically pleasing. So far, nothing else has caught my eye in this release.
