w00t, finished my assignments for the semester - time for some more 
ocd upgrading adventures!

I've replaced chaenopsis with another one of the newer thinterms, they're 
HP T5730's for anyone curious. The new one is crenicara.

PS: Did I mention that they now have the fastest login times in the 
clubroom (command line excepted)?
