I had a great time at DebConf 7 in Edinburgh and DebConf 8 in Mar Del Plata. This year I've gotten more involved in organizing DebConf and I'm looking forward to another excellent time at DebConf 9. See you in Cáceres!

Back in September 2007 I wrote about Wil Wheaton doing voiceover work for an episode of Family Guy. I erroneously assumed the episode would air a short time later, but over a year had passed without any additional info. Fortunately I only have to wait about a month longer - hope it's worth the wait!
After Ohio LinuxFest, I went to dinner at a great Fish & Chips place in Columbus with a bunch of HP Open Source and Linux Organization (OSLO) guys (and Bdale's daughter). Not only was the Fish & Chips great, it was also All You Can Eat. Everyone ordered Fish & Chips and some of us partook of the All You Can Eat.
Bdale had rented a Mazda 6 while in Columbus and it's not a large car. After dinner, most of us wedged into the Mazda 6 to go back downtown to the hotels or convention center. I pondered, "How many Open Source guys can fit in a Mazda 6?" and Bdale's daughter replied with "It depends on how much fish they ate"
Good times :)
Columbus, Ohio apparently has (at least) two convention centers, or at least the GPS in my phone thought so. Fortunately while driving around looking for parking, I saw the signs for the convention center that Ohio LinuxFest was being held at.
Fridays in August have been really rough for us. We've lost three pets this month, each on Friday. On Friday, August 1, 2008 we lost Ellie.

Louie hung on for two more weeks but went off to join Ellie on Friday, August 15, 2008. We're fairly certain he died of heartbreak since he was so close with Ellie.

Bailey was the latest to go, leaving us on Friday, August 22, 2008. Hopefully the rest of our pets stay healthy - we're looking forward to September and hoping we don't have any more sadness in such concentration.

15 years ago today, Ian Murdock announced the Debian Linux Release. I've been involved in Debian since 2002 and am amazed at how the project has grown during my involvement, let alone its entire history. Here's to continued success for the Universal Operating System!
Tonight was the Debian 15th Anniversary Party and formal dinner over at the alternate hotel. During dinner, Bdale asked helix which Wilson Sister she thought she was most like.
