Today the weather was lovely and I had a chance to get out and ride my bicycle (in shorts and short-sleeved top, even. Unusual for a UK November). This was the first time in something like three weeks (not entirely the weather's fault, I've been out of Oxford a lot recently and lazy when I was here) and I feel much better for it.

As compensation for that, the hard disk in my laptop gave up. Which was something of a surprise as it wasn't even ill yesterday. I got a backup which seemed to include most of the important data, but I managed to lose my package list, so reinstalling onto the new one took longer than I wanted it to, and there are probably still packages missing from it that I will find I need. It has no cclan yet

I took the opportunity to upgrade to emacs 21. Anyone know how to get rid of the irritating vertical grey strips down the sides of the frame?
