Evolution of PEAR and some OT

After being otherwise engaged in other activities (which I will mention later), I finally have some time to come back and look at all the activity in PEAR. It is great to see that thirgs are moving and evolving, with new ideas and proposals on how to run the project. This is something we all like, I am sure. In fact, I am happy to just being a PEAR dev, like when I started contributing in the early days, and leave to people with more time in their hands to be part of the PEAR Group, etc. Now for something different. I came back to my home country almost 2 years ago, initially "just to visit some friends and do some research" (meaning a 3 months thing), and stayed here doing research and teaching (and also some consulting) for over 2 years now, because I found that much could be done and there were good opportunities to make a difference. That is one of the main reasons why you have seen almost nothing from me in all that time. And not only I got a new job, developing Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics at my alma matter in Peru, but I also found someone to share my life with (something some of you saw on my personal web site in the past months). That resulted in me being a married man now, and happier and busier than I've ever been before. So, be aware that if you go "just visiting" somewhere, if you are lucky, things can get very interesting and you might find more than you expected, and that is always a good thing. Looking forward to the elections, and hope to see more candidates (hey, where is Greg on those lists?) and will keep contributing as time permits to PEAR as always. Cheers. -- Jesus M.
