Pidgin 2.0.1 packages are now in GNOME:Community for 10.1, 10.2 and Factory (i586 – some issues with x86_64 on the Build Service at the moment it seems). Also, Stanislav has merged in the old Gaim patches that Martin Szulecki kindly ported for us on the GNOME:UNSTABLE packages. He’s also split out some plugins into subpackages. …

The end is in sight
Had the final lectures of the main body of the course this morning. That is to say that in terms of teaching I’ve now completed my degree (although I still have work to complete and hand in). After next week’s reading week the leavers’ course starts. This runs for two weeks and concludes with the …

Devastation
[AC Milan 2-1 Liverpool] A fluke opening goal and a general inability to finish from the Liverpool strikers (not surprising – story of the last two seasons). Just like in Istanbul two years ago – yes, I’ll admit it – the best team lost. Very proud of the lads tonight but bemused by Rafa bringing …

The days to come…
Visiting a possible curacy tomorrow and Tuesday, very excited about this one. Possible tenants for our house are having a look round tomorrow. Thanks to JdC for opening the house to them for us. Champions’ League final on Wednesday night – I’ll be in the same pub as for the Istanbul final. All being well, …

Update
Wow, a couple of days pass and … The parish we visited last week wasn’t the right place, so the search continues. Submitted first draft of my Hebrew assessment yesterday. We went out for a chinese last night with Mike which was a fantastic evening. Many thanks to Ellie and Jeremy for babysitting CJ. Seriously …

Photos
A few months ago I bought a new phone, a Sony Ericsson K610i, and it’s useful for me for a few reasons: It’s 3G and occasionally I need to access t’Internet when I’m out and about. It’s got a half-decent 2-megapixel camera in it and I like to snap to record my days from time …

Good riddance
Didn’t have time to post yesterday in response to Blair’s announcement that he will finally step down on 27 June. So, here it is: Goodbye you spinning, untrustworthy, lying, self-absorbed, celebrity and power-obsessed man and take your corrupt, anti-muslim, anti-working class, pro-American, anti-student, secretive, undemocratic, immoral agenda with you. Just be thankful that you were …

Bank Holiday weekend
Phone-call Sunday lunchtime from my bank’s anti-fraud department asking about a transaction to a U.S. internet firm. Suffice to say I hadn’t made the transaction. Transaction cancelled, card cancelled and cut up, new card in post. Visit yesterday from Neil, Emma and Lauren. First time we’d seen them since Lauren’s dedication – she’s really grown. …

Simple Software Install
Wow Ben, this demo rocks out – what a great idea. It sort of reminds of click-n-run or whatever Linspire’s thing was called bu, y’know, good. Quite honoured that you’ve used my Pidgin package as part of the demo too. Keep up all posted on how it progresses, I can’t really test it since I …
