Leaving soon
First off let me wish you a Happy Independence Day. Obviously I’m a day late mentioning this, but that’s because I was busy doing more important things, like celebrating. :)
Preparing to move
So, I’ve just completed the Prototype school. Now I get to go to Connecticut and go through Sub School, so I’m prepping to move.
The May/June roundup
Haven’t posted in awhile, figured I’d go ahead and update you all on what’s going on.
I’m qualified
Today I finally qualified as Engineering Officer of the Watch. This is awesome if only because I’ll be spending a lot less time at Prototype. Graduation won’t happen any quicker though, it’s still at the end of June timeframe.
Finally passed Final Watch Board
I finally passed Final Watch Board. You may remember me talking about getting psyched up for it 5 weeks ago… and then a week ago, and then the boat broke. :-(
Of course someone would complain about Phonon. :)
Sweet, the flamewar has started. :) Christian Schaller, gstreamer-developer extraordinaire has mentioned that he thinks Phonon is a bad idea for KDE. (For those not in the know, Phonon will be a multimedia layer for KDE 4 designed to be independant of the actual audio playing code).
abakus
So today I released a new version of Abakus (the simple useful KDE calculator). Basically we show the more important part of long answers by default, and abakus supports using the correct decimal separator according to the KDE locale settings.
Qualified yet?
So. Prototype has been going fairly well. I’ve been doing good so far on my casualty watches, although the harder 3rd drill set casualties are on the way for my next two watches.
Casualty
I stood my first casualty watch today. (That is, a watch where the staff will run drills on you to see how your react and perform while recovering the plant).

Man, it’s a lot easier to pick blog titles when you simply use the date of the entry. :-)
