Happy holidays to everyone! It was fun communicating with all of your and bringing new features online. This year, we did not only extend rsyslog, but worked an a couple of enhancement in related topics, like log normalization, the log store, better Windows support and many improvements in the web based viewer.

Special thanks to all of who contributed code, good bug reports, ideas and encouragement – or helped funding the project by purchasing support contracts or incidents.

It was a busy year and I will try to relax a bit the next days. So please bear with me if I do not respond as quickly as usual (I will try to even be a few days offline ;)).

Thanks again guys, have a great holiday season and all the best, most importantly health, for 2012!

Obviously, this is not space-related, but I thought I thank all my regular readers for sticking with me. 2007 has been a very cool year, with me viewing the STS-120 launch being a definite highlight. And, of course, 2007 was the year that made me start this blog.

I wish all of you a peaceful holiday season, great gifts and time with your beloved ones.

And as this is my spaceflight blog, please also help crossing fingers that 2008 will be a great spaceflight year, with Discovery’s STS-122 being launched early in the year. Besides, will see the first European ATV launch, the first Ares launch and many other very cool and interesting things. I’ll try to follow all of them. I’d be delighted if you keep reading my blog!

Once again, a great holiday season to all of you!
