Sorry to disappoint you, but yes, this boring guy is still around and bloggin’ :).

With school, a WordPress upgrade (see below for more details), the strange fact that I only have ideas for posts when I can’t write them, etc. this has been pretty abandoned for some months but well, I guess I’ll be posting something from time to time again, and as a start I thought that I might write one of those nice random-stuff-which-nobody-wants-to-know posts.

WordPress
First of all, I now understand why there were that many “Yay! I upgraded WordPress!” posts. After skipping two new versions I decided to finally upgrade as there were some important security fixes, but for some reason it failed to update the database correctly and my blog was kinda broken for some weeks until I took the time to mess with it and create the new tables manually… I hope that everything works again now, please tell me if you find something that doesn’t. Ah, and of course they’ve already released a new version by now… Let’s see when I upgrade to that one :P.

The important stuff
Just two posts ago I explained that I had become an Ubuntu Member. Well, now I’m also a MOTU :). I’ve also become 17 two months ago, but as by that time the blog was already broken I couldn’t write one of those cool “myself.age += 1″ posts xD.

Packaging Jam
I’ll be running a little Packaging Jam together with Jonathan Davies during our LoCo Team’s Hardy Release party (in Catalan). So if you speak Catalan, always wanted to learn how that packaging stuff works and and happen to be near Caldes de Montbui the 26th of this month, have a look at this wiki page (in Catalan) and inscribe yourself.

Shell history memo
Well, everyone is doing this, so I can’t be less:
[rainct, ~]$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
70 geany
68 bzr
59 cd
25 ls
24 rm

It was somewhat around one and half years ago when I discovered Planet Ubuntu and started reading the thoughts that many of these great persons that make Ubuntu possible take the time to write down there. Some months later I stumbled upon the list of LoCo Teams, and seeing that there was something going on about a Catalan Team (which was an inactive project when I read about it the first time) I immediately joined it’s mailing list, with the time becoming an active member of it.

Not much time had passed when, early this summer, after I had been messing a bit with Launchpad, I had the idea to visit the #ubuntu-motu channel and perhaps try fixing some little bug; and well, that’s how the evil awesome guys there achieved to wash my mind letting me forget about the web projects I was working on by that time and helped me to successfully start contributing to Ubuntu with packaging related stuff :D.

So that’s the story of how that «planet were many great Ubuntu guys post», became the «planet were many great Ubuntu Members post and were my messages might appear, too, some day», and now is «the planet for which I’m writing this message right now».

Well, what more can I say now that I got you all bored, beside this last words?

Join us now and package software;
You’ll enjoy it, MOTU Contributors, you’ll enjoy it.
