[Soc-2014-dev] Weekly Report #05 - Viewport FX III

[Jason Wilkins]

At the danger of going too far in the other direction and turning this into
a daily blog, I had some serious tire damage yesterday and nearly ended up
having to spend the night waiting for shops to open so I could have the
tire replaced.

Luckily it happened with just enough time to spare that I only lost a few
hours.

I'm currently sitting at my desk reviewing last weeks work before pushing
it upstream.  It's good to be home.
