Yeap......... When I realised it I've deleted it off the PPA, but it did not delete the
build jobs. I've asked on #launchpad if it is possible to delete them, noone replied.

I saw it happening and I couldn't do anything =(

Wrote scripts to launch pbuilder for all of my pbuilders just to make sure this doesn't
happen next time.

Day 4???? Wow seems it has been longer. Hmmmm.... planet.crosswire.com
interesting idea =D

About publicity as well then. I want to get into the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter
after we are in the archives.
