First patch reviewed

[kjwcode]

Successfully reviewed my first patch for the Dreamwidth codebase today. I managed not to destroy anything, and even inspired sophie to release a script. This saved me creating another 100 users by hand, thereby making my day. :)

I think I'm going to concentrate on code review as opposed to writing code, at least for the time being. There's obviously lots of talent going into writing code, but I know there aren't enough code review hands on deck. I'll put my effort where it's needed most.

In other news, my body is doing the "you need to give me insulin" aches even after I've given it ample insulin. It does this every so often for no apparent reason. Ow, my muscles. :(

This is fun to watch, by the way. I've been looking at some of the intro docs and I like how easy it is to get into this here. I'm woefully busy until the end of the year but am hoping I can break off some time/energy next year.

If you find yourself with some spare time and a 'net connection, join us on irc.freenode.com (via your IRC client of choice or the webchat -- I don't know the URL for that, but searching for it will probably yield easy results) in the #dreamwidth, #dreamwidth-dev, and #dreamwidth-bitch channels. The former and latter are the polite and not-necessarily-SFW channels, with the middle one being where most dev conversation happens (though it happens in all three at various times). You don't need to be an active developer to hang out in -dev, of course, and if you find development fun to watch, you can do it in near real-time there. :)
