This past weekend, we had a CRW camp at [Skydive Wissota][1]. Hopefully I can get some pictures soon and update this post but I am pretty excited about CRW and will be going to a CRW boogie down near Milwaukee, WI in August. [1]: http://skydivewissota.org/
Ok, I normally would not write about a version bump…but I like this one =) Everyone’s most favorite utility to decipher slang on the internet has been updated. I took over maintainer-ship of this package because I noticed that the homepage of this ebuild pointed to a very non-descrip place and I wanted to find out who actually wrote this thing. I found out that it was a NetBSD utility and even better, it gets updated regularly.
All Gentoo Prefix users can now install [gnome-light.]2 I just imported it last night and it works! =) My WM of choice is xfce4, which is the first WM I ported to Prefix. However, if I ever choose to use GNOME, the prefix version will be nicer than the version 2.8.0 (!) that is installed on this OS. 😉 Maybe I will import “gnome-heavy” next.

I spent a few tries on this as I have never used VirtualBox before. I think this may be randomly documented on the web but I am putting this here for archive purposes (myself) and in case other stumble upon this. Step 1: Create a VM in Virtual box and set the type as Gentoo Linux. I think anyone can handle this because there is a pretty nice wizard that helps you out.
Welcome to my inaugural blog post. I am home today, relaxing, after an eventful weekend up north in [Twig, MN][1]. Perhaps the funnest thing was on July 4th morning when we went to a nearby town’s parade which highlighted a drunken clown band at the end. Quite interesting to say the least! (especially, when you have had quite a few drinks yourself before noon! A big “good job” goes out to Kel for buying drinks until we were both inebriated).
