Were you working for Sean and Harold?

Mickey was my mentor and didn't get a chance to directly work with Sean and Harold. My project was to build APIs in Vala to control the hardware (volume, screen brightness, etc) through DBus. Was a great learning experience but could see the ominous signs towards the end of my summer.

Got a device to hack on and the fact that I could SSH into a phone and have a shell to goof around was exciting back then. Android was just announced IIRC and getting it work on Freerunner was so much fun.

And you did a really good job! :-)
Haha! Thanks Mickey! Was a fun summer.
