Late night randomness

Yet again I find myself unable to sleep and sat in front of my computer at god-knows-what past midnight.

So, its late at night and I'm sat in front of my computer, logged into a screen session at work via ssh and editing code. *Why?*

I think I have a bit of an obsession, at least with this current project, The deadline for integration testing is mid-April yet here I am, editing code, making sleepy mistakes and updating my blog!

In Gentoo related news, I actually got some work done today, I lurked on bugzie for a while, answered a few user queries and requested that a couple of packages get stabilised.

Slowly but surely I'm becoming more active in Gentoo as a whole rather than just the security stuff.

Well, time to try and sleep again I guess.

Salut!

Google Summer Of Code

For those of you that don't know, its GSoC time again!

You can read the info on GSoC here: http://code.google.com

Gentoo have yet again been selected for GSoC and you can see the current Idea's here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/soc/

I'm applying for a few different projects this year, Gentoo-Java, The Apache Foundation and Audacious are currently my best chances.
Gentoo Java would centre around developing an application for the configuration of the Java environment on a Gentoo installation.
My application to The Apache Foundation involves working to build an online showcase for the free implementation of JCR called Jackrabbit.
I have applied to Audacious to develop a ".shorten" audio decoder plug in.

I hope to send a couple more applications today and tomorrow.
