+        <p>Let me start by wishing you all marry Christmas and a happy new
+year!  I hope next year will prove to be a good year.</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a>, the digital
+decentralised "currency" that allow people to transfer bitcoins
+between each other with minimal overhead, is a very interesting
+experiment.  And as I wrote a few days ago, the bitcoin situation in
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> is about to improve a bit.
+The <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">new debian source
+package</a> (version 0.7.2-2) was uploaded yesterday, and is waiting
+in <a href="ftp-master.debian.org/new.html">the NEW queue</A> for one
+of the ftpmasters to approve the new bitcoin-qt package name.</p>
+
+<p>And thanks to the great work of Jonas and the rest of the bitcoin
+team in Debian, you can easily test the package in Debian Squeeze
+using the following steps to get a set of working packages:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/bitcoin
+cd bitcoin
+DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp fakeroot debian/rules clean
+DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>You might have to install some build dependencies as well.  The
+list of commands should give you two packages, bitcoind and
+bitcoin-qt, ready for use in a Squeeze environment.  Note that the
+client will download the complete set of bitcoin "blocks", which need
+around 5.6 GiB of data on my machine at the moment.  Make sure your
+~/.bitcoin/ directory have lots of spare room if you want to download
+all the blocks.  The client will warn if the disk is getting full, so
+there is not really a problem if you got too little room, but you will
+not be able to get all the features out of the client.</p>
+
+<p>As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
