Well I'm just getting over spending a good week sick, going from laying in bed, to work, to laying in bed. Not that this is MUCH different from my normal bumish routine, but I didn't have much energy to work on the fun stuff for a while. I am getting close though, and think I should be able to pop something out in April.

Just in case you're asking yourself, "wtf is this guy doing?", shut up and I'll tell you. I'm finishing up a few required things in fuck, so that MOST installs should go smoothly. Most of my focus right now is setting up a nice development system, which I will also throw onto a live cd as rudelinux 0.0.1. I'll also make the vmware disk available if you want to go that route as well. After that's all done I'm not sure which direction I'm going to head in. Starting on the other tools is the most logical way to go, but I may just save that for someone else to write. My code is in desperate need of cleaning up anyway!

Price is 20 bucks, shipping included for one embroidered polo with the rudeLinux logo. I've only seen the logo on a white polo, but we can probably do some other colours if you're one of those fashionable types.

Still plugging away (I swear, check the hg!). I've suckered some guy to do some web design so look for our new improved look sometime soon.

I've got up to ./configure working pretty well. I'm pretty close to being able to work out all my crap coding bugs. On an unrelated note, mantis is installed at http://bugs.rudelinux.org, and the real site is coming along swimingly.

• get a working ISO out (gentoo style stage 3ish install).
• rewrite current stuff in (awfuly coded^TM) c
• rock out
