Not Going to Debconf

// July 17th, 2011 // 1 Comment » // Free Software

I was planning on going to Debconf this year, but I started my visa application too late so I won’t be able to make it.

It’s not stolen-pony bad though. I can continue doing everything I want to do at this stage. Debconf videos are usually great so I’ll be sure to watch them as they become available.

What am I working on? I’m planning to blog about Debian activities a bit more, stay tuned :)

Next year I’ll be sure to apply for my visa as soon as humanly possible. To those who are going, have lots of fun!

One Year in Canada, eh?

At 16:00 today it will be exactly one year since I first landed in Canada. It also happens to be Canada day (a national holiday) so at least my Canadian anniversary will be easy to remember!

It’s been an incredibly interesting year with lots of ups and downs, I’ll blog about it in time but if I try to put it all in here today this will end up being another draft that never gets finished.

Thanks to everyone who has given help, friendship and assistance of any kind over the last year. Especially my colleagues at Revolution Linux who I really consider to be my friends. It’s deeply appreciated!
