Notes:
I was a full-time engineer for Ximian, working first as a web monkey for a year, then a brief stint on the Ximian Setup Tools Project, before my last 7 months or so on the backend for Red Carpet. After that, I worked at Abargon for almost two years. I used to do a lot of work on the GNOME web site. If you want a more thorough resume, etc., see my site.
I started updating my diary on my site again, after about half a year of inactivity. I'd just move it over here, but the practical aspects of controlling your own layout and also being able to rsync over updates and stuff is a killer feature for me. Anyway, check it out.
I mostly discontinued my diary activities, they took up too much time. However, I'm going to GUADEC today, so if anyone wants to hook up there, get hold of me at the Cab Inn Scandinavia, or find me at the conference. Looking forward to seeing all of you there. I'll even be heading some sessions this year.
I started an activity log on my own website. It's over here. I hope there will be a diary import feature here on Advogato soon, so I can post easily to both places, for now, I'll just use my own. This doesn't have to do with Advogato, it's just a matter of it being easier for me to work up the motivation to actually write entries every day when I have to do it by hand, for some strange reason. So for you thousands of teenage fans, go there now.
We got furniture, computers, cabling, and whatnot moved into my living room early this week. A lot of time spent setting stuff up, migrating data between platforms (my old windows box is now my GNU/Linux box (kassad), my old GNU/Linux box is now a rather weak file and web server for me to do all my experimental stuff on (cythraul), and my new box runs Windows(malleus)). If you remember the scene from "sneakers" where the h4xx0rz moved into the living room of this well-meaning lady, that's what my living room was like for a while. Now, it's more under control.
Slept for ages today, don't really know why, but I think the weather change of the rainy season is influencing my body chemistry. Got up, finished migrating my work environment from cythraul to kassad, and started workin on the GNOME site again. My todo list is getting shorter for the first time in ages, which is comforting.
Got an idea a while back for a game I want to do when Loom is ready for it. It started out pretty simple, but it's grown, and is on the brink of getting epicish, plot-wise. I think it's going to be pretty original, both in subject matter and parts of the gameplay. Must write down some drafts of the ideas tonight, and get some concept art from Belinda.
List of items for weekend: Finish GNOME site todo list. Small stuff on the Helix site. Random Loom hacking. Finally do the world timezone map for Hans Petter's gnome-admin-tools time and date util. Tell Belinda how much I love her. Answer an interesting mail I got from a guy who red my comments on presence protocols and crypto. Write up game plot drafts.
Things to think about: Iain fixed the Colinear! problem. He's a smart guy. I wonder where Federico went, I haven't heard from him in ages, and there's a desk and chair for him here. An office/living room overlooking one of the busiest streets in Mexico City is cool in theory, noisy in practice. Oh well, loud music is your friend.
