I've started to work full time on October 2001, working with Linux doing various things tinkering with firewall internals and other such fun.

Work sure does saps the time from open-source projects, I've hardly did anything during the past few months. LyX was the first casuality, my own Volume Normalizer suffered too. All I had time for is mainting my few packages in the Debian project.

One often raised problem with Debian is the distribution of resources, and that it's hard to come by all the information and various services offered in Debian. Jamie Wilkinson (jaq) posted a link to a portal page that he created for his own use, my contribution is a generic portal page that generates a similar page by saving the email and name in a cookie. It was a couple hours of fun with Python and cgi programming in Python.
