Woah, its been a big long time since I wrote here. I've been
really busy with getting settled in at my new job. It is
really a lot of fun, I am responsible for a bunch of sun
boxes and linux boxes and keeping the network as a whole
running smoothly. I'm now looking for an old sun box to play
around with at home.
On the Docs front, I've been working on docs for gnucash
1.6, they are due to release it on the 10th so not much time
left. I may start reviewing the gnome-user-docs after this.
We had a great meeting today at the LUG, Alexander Guy (who
incidentally is one of the primary developers of 'Familiar'
a linux based O/S for the Ipaq) gave a presentation on IPv6.
It was VERY interesting. seems like it will make a lot of
things better for networking and also make some things (like
natting) obselete. Imagine having your own Personal Area
Network on the devices you carry around with you like watch,
cellphone, PDA, etc.
Finally I purchased a Creative Nomad Jukebox, a MP3 player
with a 6GB laptop HD its pretty cool, fits my whole CD
collection easily on it and is so much more portable than
carrying around a bunch of CD's. I'm going to be using it to
listen to music while I cycle to work each day.
