We (the SO and I) went to her OB-GYN office the yesterday and talked with a nurse, had an listen to the baby’s heartbeat (whoosh-ka, whoosh-ka, whoosh-ka…), and then met with their “financial adviser”. We got great news the ten-dollar co-pay that we paid yesterday is all that we’ll have to pay. Her health care plan covers 100% of everything, tests, visits, delivery, hospital stay, absolutely everything, the financial adviser said that she was very surprised. I mentioned that the SO works for “a Norwegian company, Yay Socialists!”.

I finally found a web-cam that works with linux. The Logitech Quickcam Chat so far seems to cool. The trick is to use the gspcav1 driver, available from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html) or if you use gentoo, emerge gspcav1. The spca5xx driver doesn’t work. The camera I’m testing with actually came with my Significant Other’s at-home company-furnished computer. The vendor id is 046d and the product id is 092e. Finally!
