elkyOh! Hai!
I'm not dead, I promise. Well, I'm hoping I don't need to promise this since I'm writing this and everything. Well, I suppose you could try the say this is a prerecorded message, but if you do then I think you have more faith in my psychic abilities than I do. In which case; what the fuck?
I digress. Hi! I haven't been blogging much anywhere, except status updates, so if you've been following those you haven't really missed anything I've said.
I think most of my DW subscribers are probably aware by now that I've changed jobs. Catalyst is a great company to work for and I'm enjoying it and especially working withbr3nda and sharrow, though unfortunately not directly (yet!). It's been an interesting experience going to work for a company where I know people within it quite well, and it certainly cut down a hell of a lot of the New Job Trauma.
I've also gone and done the silly thing of starting a project. As in a real software one. It's the web polling stuff that I'd done up for the ubuntu women competitions, and if you're desperately interested you can find it at launchpad.net/pollka. The main reason I've done this is that I'm hoping to use it as a proof-of-concept for a revival of the Ubuntu Women mentoring. More on that in the next few days. Maybe. Wouldn't want to overdo this blogging business. It's taken me like a week to write this one.
The most exciting thing I have to say, however, I've left to last. I've decided, and been granted permission by work as of yesterday, to go to UDS-N! Whee! Not only that, they're happy with me spending a week in San Francisco on the way back! I can finally hugpleia2 ! And maybe meet damned_colonial ! And catch up with badgerbag !
So. Fucking. Excited!
I suspect my bank account is less so, though.
