Life update

Icon
I moved 600km away from Madrid, I quit my job because with all the coming and going I was barely making any money, and in order to keep a healthy, active mind, I'll keep working for Debian. I also started occasionally helping kandinski with sysadmin stuff for Barrapunto (the Spanish SlashDot), also for love, and because of incredible timing.

We also now have a new cat (an orange tabby named named gato, not very original nor practical as it's our fifth cat in the household). We also now have a small garden the cats love, even in bad, evil rain. I also now have a bright new horizon where a vegetable garden, civil marriage, quitting smoking, and motherhood will be slowly making it into my life as the dust settles down.

Last, but not least, I'll try to get back in touch with all the people I lost contact with because of, you know me, another one of my falls through the rabbithole I call depression. I missed two Debconfs in a row, this time it was bad. But I found the way out and I am back. So hurry up and drop me a line before three years (that's when i believe the rabbithole will eat me again). At least now I understand the cycles. It still sucks, but helps feel in control. Or something.

Anyway, if you ever show up close to Seville, I am up for keysigning, beers and rl spammer harassing, as always.

Good job
Congratulations on making a sanity-preserving choice! Many people are too scared to do that and end up turning into zombies.

great to see a new post
great to know that your still here. Many of us are kicking and screaming against the dying of the light, to use a poetic phrase. Whatever is helping you, please continue with it.

Not everybody is so brave and determined, be proud of yourself!

I hope that you will find all the happiness you deserve and stay away from rabbit holes :).

On rabbit holes
It's been a long ride, but a lot has been learned, and will for sure have better and worse falls into rabbit holes. Hopefully not many :)

Ehr, congratulations? Or, congratulations. But specifically on the motherhood-part, or is that something you foresee more than 9 months into the future?

Motherhood
Not pregnant yet, a lot of stuff needs to happen before that, but that is certainly my wish :)

Estoy en Sevilla este semana. Vuelvo a Inglaterra en sabado, y si tienes tiempo, debemos assistir hoy o mañana. Quieres mi numero de telefona?

You should name it "gateau" instead. Still pronounce it the same, so it's a multi-language pun.

I love puns!
His real name is McFly, but he never got called that, so he was just called "gato" instead. Gateau rocks, though :)
