MusicBrainz

Paycheck and traveling in Europe

I recently celebrated a momentous milestone with MusicBrainz/MetaBrainz: My first paycheck! While the first paycheck isn't much (considering that this is pay for the last 4 years, it comes to pennies per hour), but the hope is that there will be many more paychecks and that I will be able to focus more on MusicBrainz and less on hacking on someone else's projects to make ends meet.

And what did I do with my first paycheck? I went home to Hamburg, Germany. I'm here to look after and visit friends and relatives, and I've also tossed in a healthy amount of business while I am here. (The MusicBrainz Summit #7 is next weekend here in Hamburg). After two weeks of Hamburg, I move on to London for a week, where I do more business and conduct the annual face-to-face board meeting for the MetaBrainz Foundation.

While I am on the road, I'll be checking email frequently, so don't hesitate to drop me a line if you need me.
