I am beginning to feel at home with Gentoo again. Sound is working and I can watch my favorite Japanese Anime, and of course, Battlestar Galactica. A couple months ago, I did manage to install Gentoo on my desktop but I could not get the sound to work. I ended up giving up since I had no idea what the problem was. ALSA was configured correctly.

Water Woes Part III
I had to call my landlord to tell the water repairman to return to the house today. The same worker and another guy came at around 6 PM this evening. He spent one hour fixing the pipe to the ground water pump. They both went upstairs, checked a couple of things, and then came down to finish their job. The ground water pump now works. They left.
