Haven't been in a blogging mood for the past few months.

Main thing I've been focused on lately is Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. I've been porting/packaging things for kfreebsd-i386 and testing out a lot of things. But the best part is, my GNU/kFreeBSD installation guide (mentioned a while ago. http://jrac.hostrocket.com/?page=gnukfreebsd) is now the official install guide. I've been given commit access to the glibc-bsd subversion repository so I can maintain the guide. I feel like such a leet open source contributor.

Speaking of contributing, I got a small patch of mine included in XFce :) Wasn't anything very significant, but it just feels nice knowing I'm giving something back. Hopefully I'll have a few more together soon.

I've been checking out the GStreamer documentation lately. I'm interested in writing some sort of graphical sample library manager to suit my needs. I use things like Hydrogen, Audacity, Beast, Ardour etc. to create songs/beats, so something specifically designed for samples that can handle playback, category organization etc. would be nice. If I can wrap my head around doing this with GTK+ and GStreamer, I'll give it a go.

Looks like I'll be moving to Coffs Harbour by the end of the year. I haven't really got a good chance of finding a job in general, but there'd be way more of a chance of getting job in a city with a population of 55,000 than in this 3,000 person shithole.
