I've got a, but I'm not a b

Just to subvert the absurd nonsense that Stuart Langridge has been enjoying recently, I present:

My favourite so far would have to be: "I've got meg, but I'm not a megalopenis"

Recent FOSS activities

I've not been doing a huge amount of work on Terminator recently - I have to be honest and say that a lot of the fun stuff is already done and behind us, and it's just got a couple of features before it's as complete as it should be, also it's …
