Business:
It's the UK TAX end of year ... "Pay unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's" :(
The X Windows System:
Yes, I am one of those people ... that remembers the days of xlib and was a member of the EXUG. I have always felt a bit removed from the X community since XFree took over after the GreatUnixWar (ie AT&T+Sun vs everyone else) ended spawned the talking shop of the OSF which eat the X Consultium and then did nothing with it.
I will be watch the new developements with xwin.org with intrest.
OpenDCE:
I would realy like to find some free time to help out with this project as it is something that the *nix community should use more of. RPC technology is still the future, Web Services are infact just the same thing using XML as the transport mechanism.
Hobbies:
Things have moved on in our gaming group and we now have a large Wiki site IronFort. I let the old NewGallo site die and moved the information to NewGallo Shared Campaign.
Movies:
Saw Jonny Darko last week, a very intresting film. In a way it's rough edges are what makes the film worth watching.
Life:
It is weird but I am off to the UK SF EasterCon again this year and I notice that it is two years since I posted a diary, does life fly some times.
