Thought it was exciting? Blown transformers seem to be common in new
mexico. :-)

In Europe it is a normal thing to buy electricity from other countries.
You can
even choose a private provider for electricity (company that resells
electricity from germany and other countries).
I buy about $100/month here for electricity and I don't need gas.

Do they care about my care?
Have you tested the docbook stuff? Yesterday I found a few documents
that can be converted to man/info pages too.
So the perl stuff seems to work too and it is just a document question.
I'll try to make a docbook from my
ebuild man pages as an example.
Additionaly I will look how kde customized their docbook system and try
to make one for gentoo.
To finish up the docbook system I will add ldp (Linux docbook) and
gnome-docbook stuff.
