She also has textile crafts and beadwork.\n<li>From <b>GlennS<\/b>, we have two recommendations: Talis Kimberley (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.talis.net\">http:\/\/www.talis.net<\/a>), green filky folk with a British accent and Morse code, and Jen VanBlargan\u2019s Love Medusa Crafts (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/lovemedusa?ref=si_shop\">http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/lovemedusa?ref=si_shop<\/a>), necklaces and bracelets with no clasp.\n<li>From <b>Shasta Willson<\/b>, we have Jack Lewis&#8217;s small-press book, <i>Nothing in Reserve<\/i> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jaxworx.com\/nothing-in-reserve\/\">http:\/\/www.jaxworx.com\/nothing-in-reserve\/<\/a>)\n<li>From <b>Angela Korra&#8217;ti<\/b>, we have <i>Repeating History<\/i>, a mashup of time travel romance and Western!

Thanks go out to several people, but particularly to criacow on Twitter who pointed me at a sane explanation for how to swap out kernel images cleanly. I&#8217;m now running Linux kernel 3.1.5 underneath Ubuntu 10.4, which is vaguely hilarious, but which fixes the crash bug and gave me room enough to get the hardware running. Yay! My tiny studio is now somewhat less tiny!
