 ObLinux: later on today, we're setting up Mrs. vallor's new Linux
workstation in her office.  It already has Mint 21.3 on it, but
I'm bumping that up to Mint 22 for better WiFi happiness.  Still
going to use X11, with XFCE, and adding Cairo Dock so she doesn't
feel like a stranger.
 Her own Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS is ready to be plugged in for Elite
Dangerous Odyssey goodness.  We had it running on her iMac before (under
Windows), and she's already flown successfully.  Also keeping an eye on
Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 for when it gets a little more stable on Linux.

My obLinux update is that the NAS's RAM upgrade went fine.  Still haven't gotten around to benchmarking any performance changes yet.

Fine, I'll answer your question:
 Last tech book I read was _UNIX: A History and a Memoir_ by Brian
Kernighan, which I finished on our flight to Costa Rica.
 Currently reading _Ecolitan Prime_ by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.  The Missus was
interested in my description of a murder mystery set on the moon, so we're
about to read _The Patchwork Girl_ in our very own "book club of two".
 A lot of people do plenty of reading nowadays -- it's just at their
computer instead of dead trees, and it's not always dry textbooks.

The newly updated (new commentaries by Jason Zweig) 3rd Edition of Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor"...
plus Lawson Wood's "Shipwrecks of the Cayman Island".  It reportedly had information on a particular site, but appears to have been incorrect.
