And I actually have non-computer related things to do when I'm not working.

I hack on Git because I use it for work (yay being a contractor and getting to pick my own tools!) and periodically need to fix a problem here and there. If I had more time, I'd probably do more. But as is small things I submit patches, large things I go "Please fix this". :-) ~~ Brian
