Give me liberty (from SQL) or give me a beer! ;) It has definately been one of those days. Fortunately it's also the last one of this week.

I finally have my FreeBSD 4.0 box to the point where I'm happy with it, so I guess I'll start poking at some of the PR's to see what I can fix. I still have to decide whether I'll be better able to work on 3.4 (I'm slightly more familiar with the code) or 4.0 (it's new enough, the bugs should all be relatively shallow, because nobody's had time to be really weird yet ;))

I noticed a couple of things that might be worth investigating (I know, only been here a few days and already I'm whining ;)). I realize it's there in front of me and my sydlexia prevents me from seeing it, but there must be a better way to get to the journal entries area so I can babble at my screen. Also, wanted to drop Pedro a quick note about his HP toy and realized I actually had to work at sending him a limited distribution type message (I'm sure not everybody here wanted to read it). Maybe some kind of messaging system? I guess I have to learn XML so I can look at the code that runs this to see how, if at all, this might be done. Amazing how many opportunities to code show up in the open world when you're looking for something to do.

I think I just accidently accepted a pair of tasks...
