Apparently I should post more often. (Sorry, tea_cantata!) This is still not as impressive as my previous piece of idling, from March 6th, 2002 to September 28th, 2005, though.

Well, anyway, in the last few years I finished my MSc, then spent a while doing some fun things including helping to get Fuse (the Free ZX Spectrum Emulator) running on Windows — and now I've got a job doing telecoms-related development in Derby!

I've been experimenting a bit with a camera (and I've uploaded some of ioannab's excellent photos, too), and we've also been tidying up the pond — thankfully, the water lily's plans to take over the world have now been halted!

Thanks to grimgrim and cherade9 for putting up with me during DebConf7 — and afterwards, when I was initially unable to get back home from Edinburgh due to some severe flooding! (I'll have to try to do the full touristy thing in Edinburgh some day, as it's a really nice city!)

And sorry, jorallan, I really will finish the Debian/Ubuntu packaging for Fuse. Some day. I Promise... :)

Ooh, hello. Always nice to see you post. Keep it up? Eoin, whom you may or may not know from AFP, also works in Derby. Wonder if it's the same company...

Heya! :) I'll do my best! I'm not sure I know Eoin, though... FWIW, I'm doing work on test call generation — I'll be very, very frightened (but not entirely surprised :)) if it does turn out to be the same company!
