I love the Debian philosophy and package management system; for the most part, if you stick to the 'stable' packages everything just works once you install it.

Critics are always quick to point out that this stability comes at the cost of generally having somewhat older versions of software packages installed on your system. This became painfully apparent to me after a few days of using Konqueror as my primary browser at home. I am fully dependent on tabs; there's just no way around it.

Well, nobody will be as surprised as I was to find out that I am once again among the employed.

More importantly, employed with a company that I can see myself with for a long time. In this economy people can't afford not to jump at the first thing which comes along whether it feels like a good match or not, but purely financial considerations aside this is definitely not just a case of any port in a storm.
