December 2010 was a crazy month. Extremely hectic, exceptionally busy. But I spent all that time doing stuff that was neither desirable nor pleasant. We had a bereavement in the family followed by me being put into jury duty to be interrupted by a fairly serious illness. 99% of the holiday season was spent in bed, under the covers, away from people I care about and away from the computers!

I did get 3 days into the jury duty before I fell ill. And it was a mostly wasted time experience; after being put into one case only to have it dismissed after 2 days and then spending a whole day hanging around in the terrible waiting rooms for a while day. If they make the experience a bit more comfortable and slightly more productive, it might be something more people find acceptable use of their time. But unless they do that - its all mostly just a waste of time.

But dec/2010 wasent all down and out. I had two very interesting phone conversations, both of which I shall blog about in the next few days. And I got lots of rest! lots and lots. Just would have preferred if it had been while I wasent under bed rest orders with massive antibiotics doses being shoveled into my system and a total beer deprivation. Guess I now need to plan out a get-some-beer-in agenda!

So, lets see what 2011 has in store.

During most of December I was offline, and so there are some serious serious mail queues and postponed work / open source stuff. I'm trying as hard as I can to catch up, but it might be a few days before I am there.
