I figure a update about my life and Coaster is needed.

Currently Coaster is still somewhat idle as Bryan works on setting up a arch mirror of his audio work. Once this is ready, I can start to kill some of the bugs in bugzilla. We still do not have a official release date, but I am hoping that it will be soon then later.

The Ohio LinuxFest is almost here! I post a link to the LXer article the other day. The event location has been confirmed at the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio. We are closing on the deadline for talk submissions, so if you wish to spread knowledge, get over to the site and submit a talk. This is is very promising as we are being backed by Novell, Digium, and a handful of other companies.

I am making plans to head up to Boston for the Summit to meet up with some old friends and meet some of the other Gnome hackers I know. I seem to be bringing a ton of arstechnica people with me as well. Should be fun.

Life for me has been rather interesting the last few few weeks. Since I moved out of my parents, I have found it hard to make ends meet entirely the way I wish. I guess I live a very expensive lifestyle. Got to have a nice car and nice toys. I also tend to drink a bit more then I should thus costing me an arm and a leg. I am still looking for other job opportunities in Columbus, but since all I have is experience and no education, I seem to be stuck doing jobs that I don't find interesting. I am currently looking at an IE position at UPS in hopes that it makes me more money and allows me to do more of what I like to do computer wise. Their IE is almost like IT, only there is a lot more flow planning then computer development. That would probably be in the TSG department.

We shall see how things go and I only hope that I can get working on Coaster soon. Been itching to hack on something.
