You're showing me how to give into temptation…

…knowing full well the earth will rebel…

Today I bought an iFP-170T (EU) because I ended up deciding that as nice as an iHP-140 would be, the immediacy of the iFP-170 made it a better buy. Plus it’s smaller and supposedly will last longer without charging/replacing the battery.

It sounds pretty good and is very easy to use with the ifp-line package which I installed from hoary/universe. Apparently there is a filesystem driver but I’m happy with the commandline tools for now.

My sanity safely preserved I shall go back to investigating the international driver’s permit I need to go driving around South Africa.
