I'll second most of the sentiments for different reasons. It was fun. I'm
just conflicted. I really do want to be involved more in open source, so
the "get out there and contribute" message speaks to me, but unfortunately,
I've been in various tech support capacities for over 10 years, and I am
just *sick to my very soul of it*. Unfortunately, my code skills are
limited at best I suspect that any development contribution I could make
would be meager to say the least. For now I'll have to be happy leeching.
Oh, and I got to find out about Unity linux having local members, that was
awesome. I got the ISO, but I haven't had a chance to play with the distro
yet. Also, somebody dropped the bashshell.net link on me, I could not get
that into my RSS reader fast enough.
