svu: same situation here. This latest ESR chapter is the last nail in the coffin for me though (”ha ha only serious”), I’m now all set to install Fedora 7 on my powerbook when it’s released. I actually considered moving to Fedora 5 one year ago, but the default install was so broken (X hangs, the updater going totally bonkers eating all my RAM, etc) that I went back crying to Ubuntu. This time I think I’ll stick to it and report all the problems I have like a good boy.
When I started using Linux 9 years ago, I think I basically thought ESR was a pretty cool guy. I wonder if the radically different opinion I have of him now means that he has changed a lot, that I’ve changed a lot, or actually both.
PS: gotta love the midget sex spam I get on the blog since I’m syndicated on the planet.

Hi there, this should be my first post in Planet GNOME.
My name is Xan López and I’m a spanish/galician hacker. Last september I joined Nokia/OSSO to help overloaded tommi with all-things GTK+ inside Maemo. These days I’m mostly trying to get to know the inner workings of GTK+ and trying to send some useful contributions to the Epiphany project again. Speaking of which…
This morning I spent some more time working on the infamous (at least for Ephy users) bug 318459, which prevented GtkEntryCompletion users from editing in-place the matches in the popup. I finished some remaining bits and hacked the ephy part of the equation here. Mixing everything together should give a much more pleasant Epiphany for everyone. Here’s a small demo of the thing working.
Thanks to Fer I got an amazing plane ticket offer and I will fly with my girlfriend to Japan in September. Any Japanese GNOME hacker wants to have a nice meeting somewhere in the country? I’ll exchange unsubstantial geeky chit-chat for first-hand info on the best places to visit 
日本へ行きましょう!
