I did that, haven't heard anything yet. I'm not complaining, just
stating facts.

I setup a blog at https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/

I read http://wiki.debian.org/PlanetDebian and understood the
rules. It mentions that Debian developers can add feeds to the planet
and non dd may ask any dd to do that for them.

Samuel or anyone else in a position to do that, would you please add
https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/rss.xml to the planet?

The mainboard arrived and works, my main machine has 4 gigs of ram
now.

Now that I'm part of the hurd-pkg project, I can ssh to
wagner. Nice. I might play around with UDD, will keep you posted.

I've setup a continuous build solution on one of my Hurd VMs and
prepared a package repository. I'll post details once I have some
packages to share.

I built hurd, sysvinit and ifupdown and dived into the interesting
world of literate programming. I think I'm well prepared.

Misc:

* I haven't heard from google wrt to tax papers. Is that normal?

* I received a message that I was subscribed to an internal student
  google group list thingy with my university email address. That's
  fine, but the message also said that I won't be receiving any mails
  and have to use the google groups web interface instead, but I
  cannot access this list with my google account b/c the other address
  is registered. I'm not sure what to do about that...
