In between episodes from the Twilight Zone marathon, I figured I'd reminisce a bit on 2005.

• Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 comes with an installer that automatically finds hardware and installs the proper drivers. Finally GNU/Linux has become easy enough for the average user to install. I thought it would take at least two more years for a GNU/Linux distribution to become easier to install than Microsoft Windows.
• I have to retake a course for the first time.
• I correspond with someone from the Hackers book for the first time: RMS.
• I attend an Anime Con for the first time, and find that I enjoy manga even more than anime.
• Projects: Emacs Muse has its first non-alpha release.
• The first full year without being near all of my college friends at Bethel passes. I feel old at Purdue, like an adult student whose heady undergraduate days are already over.
