solarbirdIt's safe to trim your roses now. It's probably still a little early for seedlings; give that another week, but roses should be safe. I'm going to trim mine tomorrow, I think. I'd have done some today - I really wanted to - but I was busy putting in another six hours or so just on sorting tax papers. Our taxes are stupidly complicated. And then it was late and raining. If the weather is better, tomorrow I will work some more on the ivy and hopefully also get a couple of those birch trees from the neighbour to our north.

Also, for no clear reason, our previously-nonfunctional KVM1 switch seems to be working again. Apparently, it needed to be unplugged for a few days. So that's good, I've hooked it back up. But I don't trust it, of course. And with the new KVM switch (which I suddenly don't seem to need), the monitor can't sync up with CPUs 1 and 3—when it tries, it has a flippy display and makes a horrible rattling failing-relay noise—but can with CPU 2. But it can sync to all the systems through the old switch, and can sync up with the video output from any of them when when connected directly. These are all VGA TEXT screens, running on Linux consoles, it shouldn't exactly be a big strain. To wit: what. the. fuck.
