- …. finished undergrad …
- but about to go back to university for honours. And I dreamt about failing first year history last night, and having to take a maths course over the summer to make up the credit.
- … writing a HOWTO …
- on paying for your Free Software (I’m equating contributing with paying). It’s not even properly proof read yet, let alone finished, or licenced…
- … still around LinuxChix …
- although it mostly sails along. jennv has even been able to take a writing holiday.
- … still around SLUG …
- my contributions of the past year were starting a Python Interest Group, and our hugely exciting (*excited*) new constitution, which was dragged into something like current practice. It’s nearly as exciting as the insurance.

It’s all webby bloggy stuff, but isn’t everyone doing webby bloggy stuff these days?
The more people code webby stuff, the more their private code library seems to approach middleware. But I’m reliably informed that existing middleware sucks. At least, once you’ve polled three random web developers, the union of the sets of sucking middleware encompasses all middleware, all software calling itself middleware, most databases, several scripting languages, object orientation in general, and probably a few endangered species.
At the moment, the favoured way to develop good middleware seems to be doing it all by yourself.
