LJ, Fount of All Knowledge, I Ask Thee

[neadods]

Three questions:

1) I need to learn LINUX in a hurry. Any good books/online classes/websites to recommend?

2) I also need to learn LaTeX in a hurry. Any good books/online classes/websites/freeware downloads for PC you can recommend?

and, now for something completely different:

3) With my parents and I both scaling back on the amount of stuff in our houses, Christmas is going to be more than just "Unwrap presents. Eat." Any suggestions for other things to do on the day?

About Christmas Day

[tchwrtr.livejournal.com]

The night before: Get in the car and go hunting the most garish lights possible. The Search for Tackianna is turning into a real tradition for us. *grin*

The day of: Sleep in. Wake up, have breakfast. Open presents. Be thankful to each other. Call other relatives/friends/prank calls. Go visit other people. Eat. Play with new toys. Clean up paper after ensuring cats aren't in said paper. Play with cats. Watch PBS/old Christmas movies. Play board games, put a puzzle together...together. Start a new, different tradition.

What do you want to do with your parents? Then do that. It's what the day is for. *grin*

Alas, the cats won't be with me, and the kittens would so love the paper!

I like the light hunting. That sounds like fun. And visiting.

I don't quite know what I want to do or they want to do. I've just been tasked to find another way to fill the day.
