Back

I can now announce my return to the land of the internet.

Of course, I wasn't entirely without visiting rights. It so happens that one corner of my new living room is just within range of a terribly expensive wireless access point. It was slow, and kept dropping out. But I managed at least one upload over it, and some email...

I have quite a lot of catching up to do.

Moving

I'm now a Debian Developer. :) My thanks go to Ben Hutchings, gregor herrmann, Chris Lamb, Christoph Berg, Steve McIntyre, Brad Smith, Jonny Lamb, Chris Boyle, everyone at credativ, and everyone else who helped me with Debian over the last... almost six years?

Actually, I've been a DD since the weekend, but have been too absorbed to write about it.

In other news, I'm moving house today... I'm more or less packed now. My internet access may be intermittent at home for the next few weeks. (Home is now Southampton, UK.)

Flat

My (very) humble efforts this week:

• 2009-11-25: #527710 in 'ming' - closed as no longer occurred.
• Prodded some bugs, especially #555036 in 'bash-completion-lib'; don't remember actually fixing any. :(
• 2009-11-29: #552680 in 'libtest-valgrind-perl' - investigated and closed. Was actually a previously-closed bug in valgrind.
• Then bringing up #551926 in pip and python-pip on debian-devel.

Less of the instant gratification of NMUs for me lately.

But; the Perl packaging team is down to a much lower number of RC bugs now. I'm one step closer to being a DD, apparently. And today I found somewhere to live for the next year; this is actually going to threaten my internet access in the near future, which is a little annoying. But once it's done, I'll actually be working on a desktop machine again, rather than a netbook.
