Crazy week!
What a crazy week I had. Of course it all started Monday when I received a wonderful e-mail telling me that one of my proposals was accepted for the Google summer of code. Then since it’s the end of the semester at university I had exams to study and papers to submit. Now I have to take care of all the paper work needed for the summer of code and find a way to fax it to Google. Well, to be brief, this week was crazy, I had a lot of good news and I must say I’m very happy on how things take their places.
I didn’t have the in my last post to give details about my accepted proposal so here it is. It’s exactly what was proposed to Neuros about three weeks ago. Most of the ideas are inspired from the official Last.fm player itself and from Banshee Media Player which have a wonderful Last.fm plugin. I’m really happy to work on this particular project because I’m a fan of Last.fm and a huge music consumer (see my Last.fm profile here). All in all I couldn’t be more happy with this situation. As for my proposal, I’ll have to review it, establish a good working plan and a list of priorities with my mentor during the bonding period. I can’t wait to work on this device, which by the way, has been shipped today so I should receive it next week! Thank you Neuros!
For the time being, I still have one exam left so I need to study but you know it’s hard keep your mind focused on one thing when all these crazy things happens :). As soon as I’m finish with this last exam I’ll gather and read as much documentations, codes, forums, mailing list, IRC archives as possible to know as much as I can about what I’ll be working on.
