Man oh man, it's been a while since my last blog. A week or something. Yeesh. Sadly, I don't have much time for a blog entry right now either ... I have to be somewhere in 45 minutes and have stuff to commit before I do that, and then tomorrow morning it's off to California for Trolltech Dev Days where I'll be keynoting.
So I see that the Ubuntu Fridge is covering our visit to the Canaries. Neat.
Work on Plasma today and yesterday was mostly about tracking down annoying bugs and clearing up some of the API so that it's more flexible. The containment stuff is working pretty well and thanks to Alex Merry we have a Containment based Panel basically working. Huzzah.
Over the last week I've also been talking to a number of people: Canonical folk, AMD folk, IBM folk ... various pots bubbling on the ol' stove.
I did take some time out to watch a rugby match or two. I have soft spot in my heart for the South Pacific islands, so I had to watch Tonga's and Fiji's matches. I think Tonga did terrific against England, and Fiji's upset of Wales was one of the most exciting (if not the prettiest =) games of rugby I've seen in a long time. New Zealand is, as always, rediculously impressive; to see them clean out Australia would be great fun. ;)
That was really just a way to get some attention from all my friends (and enemies? ;) in Australia. =P Speaking .au, looks like I'll be heading to Linux.conf.au 2008. Whee!
p.s. I have no idea who the title character, "Sara", is. It just sounded right. Love, hugs and jubilations.

Whilst you may need to apologise to the Aussies, I congratulate you for backing the superior team (the AB's) ;-). I myself am a Kiwi KDE user, and a rabid fan of the All Blacks. I just hope that we can go all the way this time around, and get past France this weekend.
You should really pop over to NZ when you're in this part of the world...
Seems like a lot of people use the poor girl when they think she sounds right. At least, you're already the second one I know who has done so.
Kill me Sarah,
kill me again with love,
it's gonna be a glorious day.
But I'm sure you knew that anyways :D
nice to hear about plasma progress
Jakob, nice link to Radiohead there :-)
great news re the lca visit, I'm looking forward to hearing you talk -
And what is this ... "RUG-BEE" you mentioned?
Yeah!!! Good on you, Aaron!
Another Kiwi KDE user here (I confess, I use Gnome as well...;-) ). I agree with Jonathan - get yourself down here some time. You'll LOVE the food! **GO THE ALL BLACKS!**
A little cultural pointer, Mr. Seigo. Linux.conf.au 2008 will be in Melbourne, which is full of Aussie Rules football lunati - uh, fans. Don't mention the "R" word while you're there, eh. ;)
I'm very curious to hear what you gleaned from your talk with the AMD folk in light of their recent moves towards video driver openness.
Sarah Connor? :D
(No, next door)
that's not aseigo. he capitalized the first letters of the sentences.
No need for apologies Aaron, you've chosen the right side there :-) Never realised you were a rugby fan...
John (1 of only 2 kde committers I know of from NZ, any others lurking out there???)
So much for the "rediculously impressive" All Blacks! France beat them in a quarter final! Tee hee.
But I must say they are pretty good outside of the World Cup. I think the ABs peaked before the world cup.
"Les bleus!!"
