I see no reason to believe that they’ll be turning down Eclipse. Thus, I’ll be crossing my fingers for them not to turn down Haiku instead.

On Sunday, I attended the Committer and Project Boot Camp which covered “groundskeeping” information that was geared towards new Eclipse committers. While a lot of the information was “given” and/or “trivial”, there was some stuff that proved to be useful such as the legal process and a little about the “Eclipse Process”.

In the evening, I attended Ian’s blogger party where I met…well, as the name would imply, a few famous bloggers.

More to come later as time permits.

I’m typing this in the dining area outside the MC’s C&D at the moment. I’ve got a midterm in ten minutes which I totally did not study for. While I was granted a pardon by placing the weight of the grade on the midterm (since I may not have been able to make it back, which was quite possible since I just got off the car like ten minutes ago outside DC), I think I’m still going to take it. It’s unfair to the other students if I’m here and capable of taking the midterm but then I don’t.

So it’s finally time for my panel. Well, not exactly, it’s still about six hours away. And again, I am sitting at the registration hall right now, leeching the power strip so that I can stay online. I was able to meet some fine IRC accomplices (in order of when, if my memory serves me right) Nitin Dahyabhai (nitind), Gunnar Wagenknecht (kreismeister), Benjamin Pasero (benowar), Chris Aniszczyk (zx), Tod Creasey (TodC), Benjamin Muskalla (benny`work), Markus Kuppe (lemmy), Paul Webster (paulweb515), and Kim Moir (kmoir).

At the moment, some of us are thinking about jacking a table at lunch (removing the “Table Topic” and putting our own), we’ll see how that goes.

I am typing this as I sit in the registration area right now. I have registration duties all day tomorrow, so if you’re registering tomorrow (instead of today), you may be in the line that I’ve been assigned to. Since I’ll be taking care of that, I’ll have little to report about on tomorrow’s events…with the exception of the BOF meetings.

Like yesterday afternoon, the University of Waterloo has closed its doors due to its winter storms. There goes three of my lectures. While this is nice and all, it is not exactly going according to plan since I had originally wanted to speak to my professors today to check what I’d miss from Monday’s lecture because I would be absent…my, my.

Wow….so all classes today after 1530 got cancelled. So…MATH 125 tutorial quiz, off, ECON 102 second midterm, off. As I walked out of DC and looked at that Ring Road intersection and saw all the people walking away from the university, I could only think of the word “exodus”. While there was no leader in sight leading the students away from the University like Moses did as he lead the Jews out of Egypt, no other word appropriate enough for that sight popped up into my mind.

EclipseCon 2007 is right around the corner. As aforementioned (or maybe not, I don’t quite remember now), I will be leaving on Saturday and returning on Wednesday morning (hopefully in time for my ACTSCI 221 midterm at 0830, oh ho).

I will be blogging regularly during that time frame, so if you give a damn, I’d recommend that you click ‘refresh’ on your RSS readers often to get my latest updates. I certainly do intend to blog at least once a day, so while I’m sure most of you don’t check this everyday (since I don’t blog everyday and since I rarely say anything that is so interesting that it warrants your immediate attention), it would be in your best interests to do so during that period of time (again, that is, if you give a damn).

I have not got Gallery setup just yet, but will definitely get to it since I’ll obviously be taking some photographs while I’m there.
