Even though we now have wonderful sites like PlanetGNOME, PlanetDebian and PlanetSun [and an internal blogging site], we still have people being all rude and not publishing their entire blog entry in their RSS feed. It’s hugely infuriating having to click through to various blogs just to read them. Hopefully people are reading this and making suitable changes. Ahem.
Keith Sharp posted an awesome summary of the state of GNOME API documentation. Looks like there’s still a bunch of work to be done getting it all up to speed for any keen people. Definitely one of the better places to get started, as it’s a good way of learning the APIs by documenting them.
Holy fucking shit no way! Planet Sun. Rocking stuff! Totally awesome to see other Sun dudes blogging in public.
Actually, quite the opposite. Well, while Ireland starts to bask in Summer heat, Christchurch begins its Winter – and man, it’s cold. Our house has no central heating, no log fire and 2 mini electric oil heaters. Apparently most houses in Christchurch lack the central heating thing. Kiwis are hard. Go hard, or go home. I’ll probably stop off at Katmandu and buy some fleecy slippers for a start.
Seriously thinking about heading to California next year – could be the right time for a move like that, career wise. The climbing and girls aren’t bad either. Lots to talk about and discuss before then.
I joined the climbing gym again, on another 3 month membership. Seems like a good time to start as the evenings start to close in again. Will hopefully get back into the swing of going there 3 nights a week, with a few afternoons on the ski slopes. We’re heading to Castle Hill tomorrow for an hour or two, with a trip to Paynes Ford for the Easter weekend. Rock. I put up some photos of my trip to Perth.
Had an awesome time in Perth with Domhnall. The Counting Crows concert really rocked – it was good to see them again, and we were fortunate enough to catch them before they cancelled the tour [Adam had a seriously bad run of luck]. We hired a car and headed south for a bunch of climbing – everything from granite sea cliffs, limestone sport crag, slab off-routing to beach bouldering.
Not nice to be back in work though. Very little seems to have changed apart from an announcement of collaboration and reduction in headcount. Slightly disappointed to see a lack of momentum on the JDS side, but hopefully I’ll have enough motivation to start kicking arse once again.
GUADEC is totally going to rock this year. The guys in Norway are continuing to do an awesome job. Michael has put together a tentative schedule and done a great review of the various GUADEC papers, with help from Malcolm. It’s really nice to see so many people involved, compared to last year.
