Now without biting prejudice

I have achieved a new level of nerdvana.  I reinstalled Kubuntu twice in VMWare because I kept screwing it up, and in the end I upgraded my kernel, downloaded about every single package of gcc in existence as well as every package of kernel headers in existence.  It felt like quite an accomplishment at 2:30 this morning, but now I'm wondering what to do with it!

I spent the rest of the day coding.  The drag select feature for my 2D tile-based level editor works perfectly!  The undo feature almost works perfectly too!  If just designing the level editor takes this long, the rest of the game isn't going to be coming for several years!  For some reason I feel ok about this!

I'm going to bed far too late like usual!
