Dear Kyle,
Forgot to say how happy I am to see you back.
I'm glad to be back. I've been busy with many other things, but
I have a little more time now than I used to.
To say only only one thing : I have a script that was
accelerated 5-fold by using "finch-version-cmp" (from libfinch0)
instead of "dpkg --compare-versions" ..
Heh, now that's funny to hear. I never progressed very far on
those packages, and I didn't think anybody found them very useful.
If there's interest and my schedule has time, I may hack on them
more, although I'm a bit busy at the moment hacking on the Linux
kernel and trying to get GnomeMeeting to work on OS X
Cheers,
Kyle Moffett

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best
answer:
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do
it because
life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I
draw
cartoons. It's my life."
