  So, I recently ordered myself a Galaxy Note 1 to replace the aging iPhone 4s
that I normally use, hoping to put LineageOS onto it. Well, that fell through,
as some of the system memory was bad. Reported at only having less than 750MB
of memory available, with 500MB of that used by the OS. Firefox made the thing
kernel panic, so it's completely unusable. Which is sad, because I'd have
loved to ressurect the thing with something a little more modern.

  Think I'm done trying to get a new phone for a bit, though. 

  I also made two other eBay purchases: "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System"
by Leslie Lamport, and the second edition (LaTeX2e) of the same title. Why get
both? One came out not long before my birthday, and the other is a bit more
modern. But both are well-written guides by the man who effectively made LaTeX
a thing, so why wouldn't I want them for my collection? I mean, I'm a fan of
LaTeX, and they're the definitve guides.

  There's been little else going on as of late, though. Perhaps that's a good
thing, as at least nothing is going catastrophically wrong, right?
