Life:

The hunt for a dream free software telecommute is over, at least for now. Without success. :( I guess that's what comes of being merely very good, instead of "we must hire this person whatever it takes" good.

Instead, I'm moving back into a cubicle farm, this time for Bell & Howell in Ann Arbor. (It's not free software, but at least it's Unix.) Which means I need to wrap up my current job, find a house, sell our house, and move. Now. Ideally, to be complete before early May and the new baby arrive. Did I mention that this would be exactly the time for all of the kids, Nancy, and myself to get hit by the winter cold epidemic?

Hacking:

See above. The sudden attack of Real Life(tm) has left precious little hacking time. I did get started on the goat book ("GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool"), which is a fantastic resource for what is truly a black art. Now I just need to finish and get my hands dirty doing some autoconfiscating/libtoolizing.
