[BRLTTY] problem with braille edge on powerpc machine running debian wheezy

[Cheryl Homiak]

Okay, here's the new log. Yeah, I see my time is off too; it's wrong in /etc/localtime but the timezone shows up as Chicago and cdt; will track that down but just in case you noticed and wondered.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)
