turning off my mail/contacting me for the next month

Not following this advice.I’ve just unsubscribed or turned off mail delivery from a pile of mailing lists; virtually every high volume list I’m on. If you need information from me, do not expect to get it from a list- please mail me directly. I’ll continue to try to respond promptly, though I make no promises.

I don’t like to shut myself off from the world, but it has been a very rough semester for a variety of reasons, and so I’m in pretty full blown crisis mode in prep for exams.

I expect I’ll resubscribe to most of these (but not all) after exams.

[Note: searching for 'exam' on google images yields... unexpected results. Don't try that at home, kids! :) flickr for 'don't panic' works much better; image under BY-SA with thanks to dougward. Am trying to follow the enclosed advice with mixed results.]

    links from Technorati [IMG Don’t panic] The next months are expected to be really bumpy for me (loads of stuff to do and places to visit), and so, following Luis’s example (and positive attitute about it), I’m going to distant myself from most mailing lists of Fedora and other projects. In a couple of months I’ll (hopefully) be able to return refreshed and with some weight off my back.
