XFree86 4.0.1 packages have finally been released, so I can
build packages on my own machine again. This makes me feel
a lot better.

Went shopping yesterday and picked up new shoes. Rockport,
leather, semi-formal, fairly comfortable. Took me a while
to get my size down. I think my feet have been shrinking on
me, or at least changing shape. I wore size 11 (US) tennis
shoes when I was in high school. At some point, they went
down to 10.5, and then down to 10. Dress shoes have always
been 10. Now I get these, and I do end up getting a 10M,
but I've always liked a little extra room to stretch the
toes, (which would imply a W), but getting a wide version
apparantly slightly increases the length of the shoe,
resulting in slight slippage. So it was a decision between
a shoe that gives me toe splay room but slides a little when
I walk, or a shoe that has my toes pressing slightly against
the side but doesn't have me starting to slip out of it when
I walk. I tried a 9.5W, but that was now too short, and the
back of the shoe would dig into my ankle when I extended the
foot downward.
I think I'm a 9.75W, or something like that. If I ever get filthy stinking rich, I'll have custom shoes tailored and find out.
