Another week passes by. Been doing random stuff like reading mail, updating translations, commiting various fixes from bugzilla and harassing maintainers to review patches also in bugzilla :-)

Still waiting for a couple of packages for 2.4.2, but I’m not sure when those will be in. You know who you are…

Off to do some ice skating with my son now, more work after bedtime :-)

Went to a really nice concert last night. For those of you who haven’t gotten to know the Magnet take a look at his site.

He is one of the better songwriters and performers I’ve seen.

On the GNOME side I merged some fixes to gnome-applets and made a 2.4.2 tarball yesterday. One more thing off the todo for GNOME 2.4.2. I think I’ll have to wait until next week to get the final tarballs from some of the other maintainers, but it will be worth the wait.

Other than that I’ve managed to get my desktop and developer’s platform translations over the 90 percent mark, and I’m continuing work to make the Norwegian translations complete.

Glynn, you hit the nail right on the head with your comment about the community. Being sucked in is a joy.

So, another week has passed and I still haven’t managed to read all my mail after the christmas break. Been trying to update my translations for the 2.6 release, but it’s been slow going.

Did some good practise bouts on the 9-ball side on saturday and I hope to see results from that tonight :-)

GNOME 2.4.2 is still on hold waiting for a new gnome-applets release among other things, but I hope to have it finished by the end of the week. Stay tuned…

I’m starting to look forward to GVADEC in Kristiansand, Norway. Hope to see a lot of people there even if it’s a bit out of the way for most of you :-)

Been trying to reduce the amount of unread messages in my mail store the last few days and it’s hard going. My fedora-list folder has 12k unread messages :-/

Started working on the GNOME 2.4.2 release too and it seems there are enough new releases to justify a release fairly soon.

I’ll try to get a build of the development stuff going too so I can start testing valgrind on it again.

On the personal front I entered a 9-ball tournament on monday and lost two consecutive matches and was out of the tournament. Still pretty happy with my game though. It’s an internal club tournament and there’s a lot of great players there so I can lose without feeling bad :-)

Next monday is 8-ball and the next after that we do 14-1. I must practise before then I guess…
