I should submit that to the webpage folks so they can put that catchy phrase on the NM page if I ever get in. *grin* > Have you asked your application manager what the hold-up is?

I sent him another query today. My AM is Falk, and he rocked in getting me through the rest of the process. Luckily I'm at Georgia Tech so there were some developers here to sign my GPG key, which sped matters considerably. > That sucks. Well, you can still work on your packages.

The hospital does suck, but not so bad since I managed to convince the hospital IT department to drop a 100bt line into my room, which they did the *same day* I requested it. Admittedly I had to flaunt my gov't clearance to prove to them I wasn't a threat to their network, but at least the connect is decent when the nurses aren't chain-downloading from napster. I haven't been able to touch my packages recently due to the lack of a computer/connection, so I'm kinda dusting them off now to see how badly in disarray they are, and which ones to concentrate on maintaining and which ones to orphan since chemo tends to knock my conscious time down a little. Some of them are kinda redundant with packages in Debian already, such as my maintenance of VFTP, a secure FTP server based off of OpenBSDFTP. I was just wondering if that's cool, or if the redundancy is stupid... ~Warren
