I haven't contributed nearly as much to GNOME as I wanted to since Hurricane Isable. I've got my house and yard fixed up. My children have been quite demanding in the evening and weekends. I've played with difference GNOME 2.4 distributions. I've been setup up my next job.

I've settled to leave Time Life before the end of the year. The job doesn't interest me. As before, I'll be taking a job that promises a few interesting problems to solve each month, and some friends to make work bearable. I've been advising on e-commerce technical matters for a friend. I think I'll be offered a permanent position to make a dozen sites that will gross 30 million USD using only OSS. That is a nice challenge.
