Heh, I had no idea I attracted such a wide audience. I'm still around!
These days I'm a professional graphics programmer -- I worked on a few games, fell in love with that, and I'm currently trying to figure out what's next. I don't know if Linux and GNOME are the right communities for me anymore for quite a few reasons.
As always, if people have questions about the work I did, or just want to chat, please feel free to reach out -- my email is in my git commits :)
It's very unfortunate Jasper is no longer participating in the GNOME community. I'm hopeful he'll one day return.
