Some times, all you need is peace.
Wen you work on something very visible, on a extremely popular project as KDE is you get a lot of unfriendly comments, about your effort, and the thing that hurts the most other than the comment being rather effortless to get the full extent of the problem, is the lack of support one gets from the peers.
Very often oxygen was a victim of this problem, sometimes there was an actual problem some times there was not, and there are still many many problems. But the thing we always could count on was the support from our peers, like Aaron, he many times as supported us, trusted us, and did that effort to say, "there are problems we are here to fix those problems".
Rome was not build in a day, nor was it ever the perfect city for every one, it was the joint effort of many people creating something new every day.
So this time is the time to say, We SUPPORT you Aaron, Plasma is one of the most vibrant and dynamic groups I have the pleasure to work with, and its all cause of you, we might not always agree on everything, but Aaron, you rock you really do.
Big gigantic THANK YOU.
Now relax your eyes in the typical image that I usually post...

Though there are probably bigger fans of aaron than me over here, I have to recognise that he does a good job.
Sometimes I think that it's quite difficult if you have visions, as traditionalists want to stop you
I am just a simply user but I want to give him my THANK YOU for the work is doing for KDE4.
I am not a developer and I am not a useful user (no bugs signaled, no translations, etc. ...) but I am loving this project and what it is becoming day after day.
Thanks again for the things you're doing.

I think it's thanks to all of the community... well, the active members of the community at least (aaron, you, and all the others devs and promo guys...)
but you're right, Aaron seems like a really good members of this whole
Cheers and thanks to all of you, you really contribute to make my life a little bit more enjoyable :)

p.s. And kudos to Oxygen too !
i think it doesn't get said enough (obviously) so here's a great THANK YOU to all the people contributing to KDE. of course that includes aaron! the vision of a new revolutionary desktop takes time but it's shaping up great in my opinion and it's sad to see that visionaries such as yourself and aaron get a lot of foul comments and feedback. after all this is free software - nobody's forced to use it! kde 3.5.9 is perfectly fine if they're so opposed to kde 4! but noooo it's much smarter to rant! and so much self-fulfilling ...
so in short: thank you nuno, aaron, and everybody else for contributing to this great project, thank you for your time, your energy and the awesome result that so many of us just love :-)

Now how the fuck are we going to keep track of plasma progress.
FUCK
Aaron = weak guy.
--
A humble KDE user.
If Aaron == weak guy, then weak guy == human and you've got to be a machine in order not to get seriously hurt from what people have been throwing at him, and you've got to be a masochist in order to let it continue as if nothing is happening.
I sure wish he'd continue blogging, but make it for invitees only. Then I hope he'd invite me.
There is a lot of people that likes his work, it's a bit unfair that we can't keep track of it anymore...
