Going on, and on, and on…
Monday, October 31st, 2005*Deep breathing here.*
**Finally, sem break!** Well, actually, it already *is* sem break since the 15th, and only now at the end of this month did I felt it. I was so busy doing things, both online and offline, that I didn’t even realize that the next sem will be up in the week after next. *Sigh*…
So, what have I been doing since school’s close? Mostly [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com) work:
* *Translating.* At [the Lauchpad](https://launchpad.net) the [aboutubuntu](https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/aboutubuntu/tl/+translate) document has been completed, and now I’m slaving over the [faqguide](https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/faqguide/tl/+translate).
* *Packaging.* I notice that [Lighttpd](http://www.lighttpd.net) has been included in [UniverseCandidates](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates), so I decided to start my MOTU work there. It also turns out that Lighttpd also need [libmemcache](http://people.freebsd.org/~seanc/libmemcache/), which is missing on both Debian and Ubuntu. There’s an [ITP](http://bugs.debian.org/304721) of Lighttpd already, but it seems stalled; I guess this needs pinging. And on the Debian front, pabs3 from #debian-mentors shares some hints for [ecb](http://ecb.sourceforge.net) that I need to fix for the next RFS.
* *Reading.* There are lots of Fine Documentation at the [Ubuntu](http://wiki.ubuntu.com) and [Debian](http://wiki.debian.org) wikis that I’m grokking atm; among these are [the CDBS manual](https://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/cdbs-doc/cdbs-doc.xhtml) and [MaintainerScripts documentation](http://women.alioth.debian.org/wiki/index.php/English/MaintainerScripts).
* *Writing.* I’ve managed to put up a [WinModemConexantHSF quick-howto](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WinModemConexantHSF), and soon I’ll write up about my experience in maintaining packages with GNU Arch/Bazaar.
Aside from hacking, I’ve been busy baking as well, and preparing for next sem. The only thing I’m quite missing is the “traditional” Halloween get-together with my High School batchmates; hell, it is only 1 year to go before a Homecoming…
**PS**: My Ubuntu work [has paid off.](http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs/ubuntu-meeting-2005-10-26.html) Thanks to Kamion, Seveas, smurf, dholbach, tseng, and ogra for voting me in as a [Ubuntu Member](http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember)! And to Jerome Gotangco and the Ubuntu-PH team: *mabuhay kayo!*
