I've lately acquired a habit of using ctrl-backspace when editing text. I also tend to use alt quite a bit when moving around text, especially if said text consists of sexps. And suddenly I see why the DontZap option in the X server is a pretty good idea.

So we got married last Saturday. Yay! The night after, we started suffering from what appeared to be food poisoning. My mother and one of the bridesmaids had the same problem. That was not so cool. I ended up staying home sick until Wednesday, Minttu the whole week.

The honeymoon will have to wait a bit, though. We're going to Florence, and we'd rather go there when it's not freezing in northern Italy.
