The Good and the Good

So, some exciting things have been happening of late. What, you ask. Well here are a couple:


Around last October I posted that I was finally doing work for my favourite Linux distribution, Gentoo, as an Arch Tester and that I hoped to someday consider the possibility of becoming a Developer. Well, in January of this year I began the mentoring process and by mid-March I was done my review period and am now a full Developer. Currently I work only with the amd64 team to help port apps and ebuilds to this platform but in the future I hope to join the PR team to put some of my business background to good use.


Next (I know! How could there be anything else? That first news was just tremendous!), I have decided to wait another year before starting my Master's and instead add a major in math to my honours in computer science. I have always felt a little weak in the math department and I think taking the extra 10 courses next year to get a major should fix that (...or possibly make me entirely crazy, who knows...).


Wow...with all this goodness happening things are looking just great. One wonders if the universe is now going to do its best to smite me in order to balance things out...
