Awesome, or what?

I should probably mention that if you get a pony, it is indeed redeemable for a beer.

Doing what I do best, I’ve taken a good idea and stolen it. =)
OK, actually I really did build upon it, honest!

Basically, I’ve come up with a system that lets you recognise the people who work on Bongo. You’re given ‘Pony power’ which allows you to either add or remove a Pony point from a Bongo contributer, say, for example, they’ve added some awesome new feature that you’ve been waiting years for, or they just screwed up an agent. After a certain period of time (possibly at the end of the year), I’ll get the top few contributers, and send them all their very own Little Pony - you too can be this happy.

So, without further ado, I present to you all: OMGPONIES. If you contribute to Bongo (yes, packagers and the like included), go on, sign up! To everyone else, give pony points where they’re deserved!

Edit: changed the way the entire post sounded.

Im in ur bongo, finding ur bugz.
Jonny and Chris Lamb at Lug Radio Live 2007, hacking on something (it better be Bongo).

Edit: apparently not. Seems like the Lambs were reading emails/working on Debian.

Congratulations to all Bongo contributers/coders/clowns on the big TWO ZERO ZERO!
While probably more than half of these make up missing files from my commits, it’s great to see Bongo heading in such a great direction after such a short amount of time. A great community at work, folks!

Why has nobody told me about this movie?

It’s probably the coolest thing on the planet! Daft Punk’s best album IMHO (Discovery; however, Homework is still up there) as the soundtrack for a beautiful retro-looking anime. No speech, just awesome music and limited sound effects. Go on, watch it!
