Over the last several months, this has meant that I average only four-five hours of sleep a night. c) What little time I''ve had for Shorewall has been spent on support, minor enhancements to 2.2 and trying to prepare my presentation for Linuxfest NW which I''m scheduled to give in a week and a half. d) And now that we''ve placed my father in care, my wife and I are going to spend some time just for us; we''ve had no privacy for almost three years.

I was just asking why, I wasn''t trying to point fingers of blame, or getting angry about it not being finished yet. As a fellow coder, I also understand that people like us don''t have infinite time. -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || pmcfarland@downeast.net "Computer games don''t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we''d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was just asking whyYou asked me why I chose to spend my time doing something other than what you wanted me to do. No user of free software has the right to ask that of the software''s developer (especially when you have no clue how the developer is spending his/her time). Patrick -- I haven''t even opened a 2.3 thread yet so it''s not as if I''m beavering away working on someone else''s pet feature.

I wasn''t asking you to drop everything and go work on it. As I said before, I do understand people like us do have lives.> If and when I begin working on IPV6, you''ll be the first to know...Okay. -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || pmcfarland@downeast.net "Computer games don''t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we''d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
