Good evening everyone,

It is my pleasure to announce a new Gentoo developer. Mike "floppym"
Gilbert is joining us from Detroit, USA and he will be working on the
chromium herd for starters. Here is how he describes himself:

"Born/live in Detroit area. Work at a magazine publishing company.
 Single. Like to read sci-fi/fantasy. Currently a TV addict.
 Playstation 3 for gaming (floppym on PSN). Musical obsession with
 Paramore (punk/pop/rock band)."

Please give him a warm welcome here and in #gentoo-dev channel as well.

Welcome Mike!

Months ago, I asked a question in #gentoo-dev, and floppym, not having
+v, private messaged me with the answer. From then on I tried to give
him +v whenever he was in the channel until someone set it
permanently.

Thanks floppym! Glad to have you onboard. :)

Matt

Yeah, I can be a bit of a know-it-all. That's not always a bad thing. :p

Glad you finally got on board.

Hello Mike,


welcome!

I read in a German newspaper that some guy is trying to make a big farm
from Detroit - have you noticed anything of that?

The statement on Paramore came as a surprise.  I found their live album
rather disappointing but the studio stuff is first class.  The melody of
"You are the only exception" comes to me mind.

Best,



Sebastian

I heard something like that. If one cleared out the abandoned housing
and industrial buildings, there would be quite a lot of space (miles)
between the city's core and the ring(s) of suburban communities. I'm
not sure I would eat anything growing in the soil, though.

Heh, I'm surprised anyone on this list is familiar with them, given
their very young audience. Having been to a few of their shows, the
live album (The Final Riot) is actually my favorite. The music doesn't
provide a deep listening experience, but it is fun to listen to.

Also, Hayley is hot.
