Hrrm. and once again, it's been ages.

Debian:

So edd got his Debian account, which is cool. I've had to take a temporary break from doing Application Management (and handed gwolf over to a new AM) as between work and being "not too well" -- to the point of now having been teetotal on doctors orders for 3 weeks -- I had no time and less energy.
I'm still working on apache2 and related packages, but mostly in work time. The packages are now getting pretty mature, with a lot of input from debian's user community. I was breaking Debian's BuildDaemon system for a bit, but that is now sorted.

Personal:

As part of the cure for the variety of malaises I have, the doctor ordered exercise and diet. I'm currently 6'1" and 100kg (16 stone) so I guess that's fair enough. So on Thursday, I went down to Ealing Rugby Club to do my first rugby practise session for over a year. Sadly, I had forgotten that Thursday night means full(ish) contact. It is now close to midnight on saturday and i still ache. Everywhere. Still, I feel a lot better for even one session, so I'll keep at it.
I went to GameOn at the Barbican last saturday with RossBurton and his girlfriend, Vicky, which was a really good day out! Lots of really cool old kit, including a PDP-1, a pong machine, and all kinds of atari, sinclair and other gear which really took me back to my childhood. Tempest2000 on the Atari Jaguar is still awesome!

Music:

Just picked up a bunch of cds from HMV, including the new Death In Vegas album, which is, if anything, even stranger than the contino sessions, but very good. I also grabbed the Kosheen and White Stripes albums, and White Lilies Island. Seems like they're all pretty good. Been playing with GNUMP3d at work, and it's genius. The debian package is very well done, and the whole install took seconds from apt-get install gnump3d to a working server.

Response:

mglazer: Well, you seem to be disliked (I won't stretch to hated - very few people deserve to be that, and certainly not a person whose only "crime" is to be deluded and misinformed) and wrong, so that's not a great combo, although probably deserved given the xenophobia you repeatedly display. Calling a people whose culture is over a millenia older than yours "savages" is innane and ridiculous, and shows that you have no understanding of the situation. Rather than spreading hate, why not try to find some empathy with the tragedy of a people who find themselves in a position where they believe their only recourse is to kill themselves and many other innocents? And who were put in that position by the victorious Allied powers (so, read "USA,UK") at the culmination of world war 2, when they forcibly created a Jewish state. (I'm not commenting on the issue, merely how it came to be. I don't want to become embroilled in an arguement over which culture has the oldest claim on the land; or anything like that)
Note that I'm not condoning acts of terrorism, merely commenting on a side of the story that many people miss.
You should also note that the "Judeo/Christian" ethic that you praise so highly is (at least the Christian bit), directly or indirectly responsible for many of the bloodiest and most criminal acts of the last thousand years, including the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and the conquest and decimation of many cultures in South America, India, Africa, and the Pacific by the major European powers, all of whom were to some extent "Christian".
