So quite a lot has happened in the past month. The GUADEC trip, among other things. I am waiting for laundry to get done so I figured I'd take this opportunity to start keeping this up again.

I finally met my upstairs neighbors this week. I guess I didn't make a good impression cause they moved out the next day. Fortunately, Helix has an apartment next door for people staying here for a while to live in, so that they don't just live in the office.

I think gnome-core and gnome-applets are pretty much ready to be released as 1.2. Now it's just waiting for gnome-utils and gnome-pim (I think those are the other things getting released, besides the control-center which I think is done)

The lights in my apartment aren't working. At first I thought this might be due to some bill non-paying action, but my alarm clock stayed on (and my laptop recharged), so I don't know what's up. It sucks the most for the bathroom since there aren't windows and such.

Put up some Helix GNOME updates for Red Hat Linux this week. Mig and I fixed a couple of gnome-libs / gmc bugs which is nice, although it sucks to still be running into gnome-libs bugs after over a year of it being stable.

Last night I also put up some Helix GNOME RPMs for TurboLinux and Mandrake 7. I find it funny that people requested pentium optimized packages.

Nice, they are playing Cross Eyed Mary at the laundry place. Last time I think they played some Zeppelin.

So I guess I am pretty much dropping out of college ("University" for the non-americans). Fortunately mail is still being forwarded although my Andrew account is pretty much defunct.

Hmm, I probably don't need my headphones here since a minute ago they were playing some doors and now santana.

Some more weekend hacking, like last weekend.

I find myself walking to / from work a lot now, even though I have my bike. I think it is due to my headphones. For example, today on the way to the office a limo drove by, then a few seconds later another one came by. This one stopped, and as i walked past, someome in the back came out and said, "Excuse me, sir", but since I had my headphones on I could just keep walking.

Nat and Mig got me some ice cream today, since last night I wanted some, and the restaurant we went to didn't have any. It's funny, people don't expect you to order ice cream for dinner as much as they should.

Couldn't wake up until around 3. Got to work and made updates for Gimp and sawmill (and librep). *FINALLY* got the %_host stuff working on caldera, linuxppc, and red hat working at the same time.

Got the testing machines back up.
