Because I'm supposed to be keeping a blog about this OPW thing

So. It's this internship thing. GNOME's paying for it (well, sort of - other folks are doing a lot of the sponsoring), I answer to the WMF, and stuff has been happening. Consider this an update on the entire thing: there have been cabal motions and piles of wikitext and research and shiny little drawings and everything. I'm sure it's terribly interesting. Would probably be even more interesting if I could remember much of any of the specifics, but having a nail in the head is apparently not too good for the memory. Not that it's a literal nail, but whatever is causing the nail in the head feeling, that clearly isn't too good either.

At any rate I'm not terribly in the loop with myself at the moment.

Tomorrow should be better. They're going to all the trouble to fly me out to SF for the week, so it'd damn well better be better, at least. Be a bit of a waste if it weren't. Meantime I just need this nail in my head to not set off a metal detector in the airport.

No conference, just work. I was working. Yay work.

Except that wasn't sarcasm this time.

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
