Well, its a bit of a sad day today in Gentoo-land  as Stuart has retired from the project. Which made me realize that most of the people that I enjoyed interacting with on the project have left. There are a few left and a few of the newer people that I chat with fairly often, however it is definitely not the same.

That is probably in part what is showing up in my lack of motivation to really work on much Gentoo related stuff currently. I’ve finished my goal of a 1000 commits in a year and I’ve just sort of been taking it easy and working slowly on stuff, when it suits me. I’m around irc as always to field questions but I’m not in a rush to get things done.

Another part of that is that I’ve been amazingly busy at work for the past two weeks and I just want to relax and unwind when I’m home. Listening to All Things Considered on the way home starts that process but it seems to take a good while longer to unwind. I will also have a 13 hour plane flight upcoming that is going to be ohhh so much fun. Remind me to register for the frequent flier miles.
