A potted account of Ross' life

Daniel Elstner, Rediscovered

Murray Cumming reports that Daniel Elstner is alive and well, which is excellent news. He really helped me when I was starting to learn gtkmm, and Regexxer is a truly wonderful piece of software.

Hopefully he will come back to the GNOME/Debian world one day, and I'm sure he will be surprised at the welcome he'll get...

New Hard Drive, Part II

$ df
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
                       33G  4.7G   26G  16% /
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
                       38M   11M   26M  31% /boot
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
                      4.0G  2.7G  1.4G  68% /mnt/win

Yay! It's not exactly a massive hard drive, but this is a laptop, so its quite respectable. GNOME 2.5 from CVS, here I come!
