Saturday

Nothing special about the morning happened (apart from waking up which is always considered a mistake)

Wandered into the office to continue to trackdown and destroy the network deadlock bug in the alpha kernel that the i386 guys plagued me with <growl>

Mark rang me at the office asking if I'd like to go out eat and I arranged for him to come over meet me at the office before heading out. Just after I put the phone down, _A_ walked around the corner. Pleasantries exchanged. Then I find out that bcrl is due to arrive about 2 hrs later. So when Mark arrived, all the plans had changed substantially. Oops. Fortunately Mark didn't mind.

Showed _A_ a nice pcmcia explosion (null pointer derefeance). Now fixed. Asked _A_ for an opinion on the alpha networking deadlock problem I'd been experianceing. He's bewildered by it's obscurity.

bcrl finally turned up and a few other RHAT straggers at work came along to go have food at Neo-china in Religh. _A_ discovered for future referance that ordering 4 spring rolls is a mistake as they were a shade smaller than the size of a coke can each 8)
I opted for the hungarian beef. Very nice and not too expensive either.

Ran everyone back to their home destinations afterwards, arranging with _A_ and bcrl to let them in the office at 10:30 tomorrow. Went back to the office to beat on the alpha kernel a bit more (very frustrating).
