Good news

Well, since my last post, several non-neglectable Good Things(tm) happened to me. First, I was accepted for a scholarship for my diploma thesis in Switzerland. As Homer Simpson would say, "David is going to Switzerland!" :-)

The second good thing was that, apparently, my kernel patch (details here) was accepted by the framebuffer maintainer, and could go into the mainstream kernel. Now, that would be something. :-) More on this, later.

And, last but not least, I've received a mail message from a complete stranger telling me that he liked my Ice95ish theme (details about the theme here). These things can really brighten your day, y'know?

And, under the chapter "Nice work, Dave!", I've managed to lock myself out of a remote machine, by frobnicating iptables... D'oh!
