Broken Comment Posting Fixed; New #olpc-ph Grassroots Group
Thanks to Wolfger for pointing out an HTTP 500 while trying to greet me by comment. :D I totally forgot about upgrading Net::Akismet to the new version that comes with my patch, as described previously. All the while I was thinking Net::Akismet was doing too good of a job keeping out comment spam, when it may as well have kept out all comments :( But its my fault, really.
Among other things, Jerome has finally started a new grassroots group for the OLPC effort here in the Philippines, fresh from the success at the recently-concluded SFD. There's now an IRC channel up too, with logs available locally (text-only, until I can set up a web and fileserver frontend.) I'm personally interested on running a port of Inferno and perhaps help out on the TODOs for it.

Turning 0x18
zakame++;
There should be a picture of me above, following the Me(me), but its late. And I have to get up early tomorrow to catch the bus to Manila for next day's Cebu flight (work calls.)
I look forward to another roller-coaster year. This year had been a ride
through new stuff mostly at work, picking up CentOS and Ruby along the way,
although remaining faithful to my Perl roots. And quite recently, it has come
back full circle with a renewed interest in Debian again. However, I've been
also coming back at exploring Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno,
rekindling my lost interest in distributed systems and showing me just how bad
Unix and friends have become (current meme: tell me why any xterms, mine or
yours, has a baud rate, as told by stty.)
Still, I can't forget my roots; yesterday's "save" was a subtle reminder that I should come back to Debian again. I'll do what I can, and maybe learn something or two in the process ;) I guess that's how $DEITY works; always moving in indeterministic ways.
Ok, off to sleep...
