Long time no chat

So, its been quite some time since I last blogged. I thought I better update everyone as to my whereabouts, what I have been doing, and what im going to do 🙂

Lots of things have happened in my life recently. Shortly after christmas I took the leap and moved across to York (England) leaving my job, friends and family behind for a new life. I’m currently in new employment, study and have a great flat with my girlfriend. Its taking some time to adjust, since when I arrived the first weekend we were here I was sat in A&E, and have been nursing a wound from surgery since 🙂

So, on a York note! Live nearby? bored (very!) and fancy a drink? Drop me a mail!

On a gentoo note, of course everything has suffered. No internet access is still a burden for me until next week, and I suspect several days worth of updating and reading mail will follow before I get back into productive mode. I will be reviewing and making some changes to our current genpatches release maintainence to benefit older stable kernels in the tree with security fixes, which in turn should mean kernel sources won’t get bumped to stable purely for security releases alone.

Following on from this there are several changes I will be making to allow pre and post merge execution of scripts (likely wrapped to execute as required user) in module-rebuild. A few people have also suggested to change its name to modules-rebuild to better reflect its capabilities and also to match modules-update. I think I’ll do this fairly soon – but I’ll mention it on the -dev/-user mailing lists first.

Anyways, lots of other interesting plans, and also a few kernel patches to push for inclusion at some point – but for now I’ll leave it there and commit to blogging more frequently 🙂
