But two relatively big events happened over the past week. This past Friday I was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade. And today I finally qualified as Engineering Officer of the Watch and Engineering Duty Officer (on the same board no less). So now I just have like a million more qualifications until I get qualifed as a Submarine Warfare Officer.

On a more humorous note a submarine sailor (currently working as a recruiter) is making a series of animated short videos which are similar to submarine life. A lot of them require some kind of knowledge of the Navy to get the most out of it but then a lot are quite funny on their own as well. He has the videos at his studio site, TubeDaze.

I’ve released kdesvn-build 1.4 just now. It includes a couple of minor bugfixes, the default options and modules have been revised, and now kdesvn-build supports using the KDE FTP Subversion nightly snapshots when checking out trunk KDE modules. (Thanks to dirk for fixing the FTP mirror script to support kdesvn-build).

In other news I’m back from riding with a different boat to augment my qualifications since I was let off of my last patrol early due to my son being born premature. I ended up going back to work basically as soon as I got back so I’m still catching up on my TODO list (both work and home) but things are progressing.

But anyways, it’s 2 hours past my bedtime so I’m off. :)
