Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] [Tuxpaint-i18n] Mentioning the F word?

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

hi michael, sorry for the lack of response. my family's got a new member
(he's 20 months), our older son started school (just started 1st grade),
my job's been extra hectic (expanded from myself & my boss/CEO to
now having about 20 employees, so my position as CTO now actually involves
management)

The time I've been able to spend on tux paint has been purely social:
facebook & twitter, and i was just invited to speak at an edu conf
later this month in a nearby city (CUE in vacaville), which i'm hoping
to manage.

i've been meaning to catch up, but have spent my minimal spare time
with my family, and helping run a linux user group (and failing at that
lately; lots of last-minute "roundtable" talks, instead of actual guest
speakers)

i also recently split my personal email from my work email (it used
to just be a forwarding set up), which means i'm looking at non-work
email *far* less than i used to.

please bear with me as i catch up, and feel free to ping me via
private email (or even just CC me, to ensure i notice it; list mail gets
filtered away & i tend to look at it even less frequently)... esp if
there's something important/urgent.

thanks!
