running out of Pentothal ?

It seems that because the original manufacturer transferred production of Pentothal to a spin-off there is a shortage of this medicine in Belgium. It is used for euthanasia and it seems the is a need of one dose a day on average officially. Unofficially 2 :-).

So for the next three months we'll be buying it from other countries. The mind boggles.

a small step for ....

A few weeks ago I wanted to redo the roof of our garden shed. As usual this turned into a slightly bigger affair then I expected: the roof was too rotten to stand on, the circle saw's blade got ruined immediately, the blade is of a non-standard size that nobody seems to carry, the wood boards were too big for my car, etc etc.

After all this today I assembled the first part of the root, went on it and to my shock it did not collapse (!). So tomorrow I should do the remainder of the skeleton (I ran out of nails, of course), and before the weekend I should put the roof material itself on (a kind of waving, bitumen based board).

All of this means little or none Debian and CL work...
