Bughunting
Sam managed to find the REAL bug-of-doom that I had spent so long looking for. It ended up that our daemon had opened a couple of unix-domain sockets before forking, and the children inherited and used the open file descriptors. Due to the nature of the code this was okay during quiet periods, but caused huge problems during load. Sam was presented with the Bugfinder's Beer and everyone is happy. Good work Sam!

Diplomacy
Very interesting turn. It seemed that everyone lied to everyone, and a very messy turn was had by all. What fun! I'm looking forward to see how it all turns out.

Finance::Quote
I'm very thankful to Jacinta for her work. She's spent a lot of time cleaning up code, making sure things are consistant, and reviewing my hacker's guide and other documentation.

I'm playing with Debianising Finance::Quote, although it will probably be a while before I get the proper hang of it. I've got some examples to work by, so I'm using them.

Cartooning
I'm once again walking the fine line and have restarted my cartoons.
