Am doing the 'unproductive' thing today. This is probably because I was up far too late/early last night/this morning again, and also because of sheer inertia. Have broken MSN, and hardly anyone is around in general. (Trillian can cope - booted into Windows to check - but GAIM panicks when it gets a server error (which is due to having a nonexistant account on my list, but I can't get rid of it because it's nonexistant) and just disconnects itself. I could probably do with working out why this is soon; any ideas?)

I was planning to play Dune for nostalgia purposes, but got distracted trying to make my USB floppy drive work under Linux for easy transfering of small files from Linux to XP (because Linux can't write to ntfs, and XP can't read the Linux partition...). Moondaughter stubbornly refuses to acknowledge the existance of a floppy drive, however.

Linux can read NTFS, and has experimental write support (I've not tried that). Windows can read ext2 and reiser partitions if you download explore2fs and the reiser equivalent... I don't have urls handy, but I'm sure you know how to google...
