The other day I had to play tour guide for a friend of mine and his family, who are from out of country. After wandering around and showing the various sights around the city, both well-known and a number of the assorted strange and hidden art pieces here and there. As a bonus, I managed to keep them from getting robbed, starving to death, etc.

At the end of all that I was given a Volito tablet, made by Wacom as thanks for having shown them around the city.

Unfortunately I already have a Volito2 tablet. The two tablets recognize one another's stylus, which is kind od neat. Given that each reportedly contains a unique RFID, I can likely do some interesting stuff with that.

my tablet works flawlessly under Linux now, although in Windows, it sometimes loses pressure sensitivity, which is really annoying.

My scanner works, although I need to refine the scanning procedure a lot. Under Windows, scanning with the TWAIN driver was sheer bloody murder, and almost impossible. Works quite a bit better under Linux, though. I should read the libUSB documentation so that I can enable scanning as regular users, and not just root. I'm lazy, so it won't likely happen anytime soon.

Of note, more and more people say my drawings are creepy, and some have stated that it makes them nauseous. I think I like that.
