Ok, my project’s released, applicants have responses, and at long last I stand triumphant over my inbox nemesis (for the moment, anyway – he’ll be back). No more excuses so here’s my status report for March.
This last month was spent juggling a few things. First and foremost I’ve been swapping between my mentor and admin hats for GSoC. By day I’ve been that annoying, nagging guy asking devs to talk to all these young upstarts that won’t get off their lawn. But by night I transform into a hideous slave driver, bent on demanding more and more from the poor applicants to my projects. I’m actually not sure which group is more likely to plot my assassination…
Time permitting I’ve continued to hack on arm, adding some sweet new features like expanded circuit paths and application identification to the connection panel. The 1.4.2 release (which has been in the works for the last three months) is finally done, for more on that see its blog post.
And finally, I’ve survived my last oncall with RCX Checkout (only got paged thirteen times!) and transferred to the Source team of Builder Tools. Yesterday was my first day and so far I’m loving it, though I’m suspecting my old team is trying to hint something since they left me in their oncall rotation…
