Present Perfect

Warning

This entry extremely low-diet on technical stuff due to obvious reasons.

Holiday

Went snowboarding last week, had a good time, good weather, didn't fall nearly as much as I did last year. I should really really do it more often because I enjoy it immensely.

Work

Greater responsability comes at a price : I get stuck checking and approving invoices, keeping track of contracts, and so on. It drains me from doing coding or productive work. On the plus side, I just got in a new computer and two Hammerfall 9636 digital cards, which will be fun to toy with. That will force me to check if GStreamer's ALSA support is still working ok.

The beauty of open source - I couldn't figure out how to actually control the cards and change routing on them, and I sent a mail to the LAD list and Paul Davis, the driver author, replied in less than a day.

Train

I ride the train to and from work each day, which takes about an hour, even though I have a car. I enjoy just sitting and not having to do anything to get anywhere, and being free to work on stuff two hours a day on my laptop. This week however, after coming back from holidays, I decided to not do much and just catch up on recorded tv shows from the Dave/Dina box. I must say, it was incredibly relaxing to just copy over the recorded shows and watch them on the train, should do that more often. I watched some Dawson's Creek (don't comment) and West Wing. West Wing is really really good, it's both funny and moving. The only thing I dislike is the blatant patriottism.

Oslo

Booked my plane and train ticket for the GStreamer Oslo Summit next week. Lots of thanks to Uraeus for putting this together, it's just what I need, another short holiday :)

Didn't really dare ask my boss, since we're on a very tight schedule, but he was ok with it. I'm psyched.

Fedora

Currently in some sort of IRC meeting, first time I've done that. Not sure if it's all that productive to try and hammer out things over IRC. Fedora is heading in the right direction though. People are setting up guidelines, discussing best practices, and eventually stuff will fall into place. We're striving for a huge goal, so it's ok if it takes some time. Rather do it right than very badly.

As for mach, both Ville and Matthias (from FreshRPMS) seem to like it and have provided patches. It's great to see the two of them discuss possible feature additions :) The project takes on a life of it's own.
