I’m getting *really* behind with the blogging, so here’s an attempt to catch up.
Exciting news! Well, for little old me anyway. A couple of weeks back I had my first ever patch to an open source project accepted and [checked in](http://cvs.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi?r1=1.9&r2=1.10)! Go me! Okay, it’s only modifying a configuration file for the Linux [hardware abstraction layer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer) such that our Samsung YP-U1 music players are recognised as music players and not just generic USB storage devices, but it’s a first for me. My thanks go to [Danny Kukawka](http://dkukawka.blogspot.com/) for making the check-in on my behalf.

Did you not get something done with some dodgy editor and Mason, back in the day?
