A while back I wrote about how I first got hooked on coffee and received some really good comments and suggestions for new coffees to try. I was immediately attracted to one coffee in particular: Zoka! Don’t ask me what it was but there was something about the name that tickled my fancy. So I sent their customer service department an email and asked if they would send me a few samples.

Today I attended my very first GNOME Board of Directors meeting. Though I won’t be able to vote on issues until July 1st, it was great to witness how the process works and be able to ask questions and receive answers directly from current and former board members. I must say that the entire meeting felt very streamlined and ran smoothly, partially because of people like Vincent, Brian, German and Paul who seem to be on top of everything and juggling several balls at the same time!

“Django 1.2 E-Commerce” starts with a very ambitious goal: design, develop and deploy a functional ecommerce web site for the fictional CranStore.com company. Sounds great, doesn’t it? I started flipping through the usual introductory pages explaining what Django is and why use it for a project like this. It was all fairly brief which already led me to believe that knowledge of Django’s inner works and basic setup and configuration was required to follow along.

It’s been another crazy/hectic week for me at work, so blogging and pretty much all other activities had to take the back seat. [caption id=“attachment_1116” align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“137 issues resolved and counting!"][/caption] One important piece of news is that I have been elected to the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors together with other 6 members! Thank you all of you who voted for me! I intent to devote a bigger chunk of my time to be a proactive, hands on and very vocal member of this group and will strive to blog about my experience as much as I can!

Three more days until my birthday! Want to take a look at my wish list? ;) It was a very busy week, so I didn’t spend the same amount of time writing as the previous weeks. Thank you for the kind wishes on my birthday! :) Also, thank you Conzar, Aigars Mahinovs, Paulo Dias, Tassos Bassoukos and Rodney Dyer for the awesome tips related to playing World of Warcraft on Linux!

[caption id=“attachment_1109” align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“World of Warcraft”][/caption] Yes, I’m still alive and kicking. Been really busy at work and haven’t had the time or energy to write anything here. I have however kept my New Year’s resolution of reading a book during lunch break every day! I’m currently reading 2 books at the same time (check what other books I have read and those I have still waiting on my queue in the front page of my blog):
