After sixty hours of construction, the build of Open Office failed. You know why? The build took too long, and the sandbox monitor assumed that the time difference between the start of the build and the end indicated a security problem! So it killed the build and erased all progress.

I'll live with other tools. I don't need open office. AbiWord supports Open Document for word processing, and Gnumeric is doing a more-than-adequate job of being a spreadsheet. And I can always use S5 for presentations. As for databases, SQLite is totally rockin'.

On the other hand, I had a distinct pleasure last night: I ran Starcraft under Linux. I can now play the game without having to boot into GameOS. Very cool.
