Returning to the fold
Hi again, blog. Its been a long time. Like, almost a year.
How was I? Great, I guess. Mostly out of touch with the rest of the worlds I used to visit, being at work, but after leaving work (and searching for a new one now,) that's going to change. Hopefully. :)
I've started by updating some stuff for Debian I should have updated long ago. In the process, I've reformatted my laptop to be Windows-free, containing only Debian sid and OpenBSD-current, and its been very pleasant so far.
I've also taken up a couple of new old stuff for Debian, fixing them up, and getting comfortable with their insides^Wcode. So much so that I'm even in the process of fixing a 5-year-old wishlist bug, although it still needs testing.
I'm looking forward to rejoining the communities I once missed, and maybe joining a new one too.

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...
