Elevate myself

Last week I signed up for my third year of Flickr. It's been two years since I got my first digital camera and I've been pretty happy with it, but I use it a lot less than I initially thought I would. I've got to work on that in 2008!

To celebrate, here are my favorites of the past two years from my own Flickr stream:

Flickr favorites RSS feeds

Sometime in the last few weeks Flickr started offering RSS feeds of favorites; as far as I can tell they didn't announce it anywhere. This was my #1 feature request. Yay!

Nostalgia

It makes me feel great. Smarter. More aggressive!, originally uploaded by Be Somebody Or Be Somebody's Fool.

Debian 2007 timeline

[Reposted from debian-publicity.]

I started a page on the wiki to assemble a timeline of the interesting events of 2007: Timeline2007.

Please help me complete it! I've collected events from the News section of the website, times.debian.net and the -devel-announce and -project lists. I may have missed some important items, so feel free to add your own.

Layout changes, more links

The main div is now centered instead of being positioned relative to the left side, it looks better on wide screens.

I've also expanded the links section in the side bar with some of my 2007 favorites: A Softer World, Pearls Before Swine, Savage Chickens and We The Robots.

Happy new year, everyone!
