I spent the weekend alternately printing and doing nothing. There was quite a lot of both, now that I think about it.

Damn, that's funny. Also, I think now I might have to do a little more typesetting and printing, because I can think of a number of people who need this in sticker form. And I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of sheets of sticker-paper somewhere. Heh heh heh.
