Another eventful week went by; I can only hope this keeps up when school starts next week.
I’ve tried building FSO, an Openmoko distro where lots of development is focused on. Relatively low-level stuff goes on there (playing with dbus) and hope to get that working. I haven’t yet built it since my system partition is too small, so I nuked my FAT32 partition, turned it into ext3, and am in the process of setting up the build there. We’ll see where the next week takes us.
Meanwhile, I had a little fun trying community apps, even took a hand in coding a little dice game applet. Reading code and getting feedback on the mailing list was pretty fun. Let’s hope I can contribute something useful as the year goes by!
There’s a Topcoder SRM in the coming week, but I won’t make it since I’m taking my grandma to San Francisco. There’s also a Marathon match, something encryption related, that started on Wednesday, which will run until the following week. I think I’ll take a pick at that and post my thoughts next weekend.
And of course, Spring 2009 at SJSU begins Thursday! I’m especially looking forward to a great semester, specifically Prof. Horstmann’s open source development class as well as partial differential equations (hopefully not too merciless).
