Starting to envy the people who can toy with gigabit ethernet, I mean those who afford switches and anything else to connect it to. :)

Today is almost over, including a short session of a hopeful network redesign plans... It's a bit bizarre that this makes me happy :) 2.4.18-rc1 is out, 2.2 starts to look ages old on those servers..
work
Trying to find some inter-isp misconfiguration, when probably someone just limited a hosts bandwidth in our direction... It's fun indeed.
genromfs (and romfs) is more than five years old now, registered on SF more than two years ago, and has the first update in years less than a month ago :) SF download services are *slow* for a week or so...
cactus: that's politics, and I don't like that, I'm not like my grandfather yet :)
fun
Interesting times (as in the "Chinese" saying..). Linus just started to use BitKeeper, slashdot posted an article about arch.. Now I can see that the discussions on slashdot have very little value, even if you are bored all day... arch is a bit weird, it looks as a patchy maze of shell scripts (all different), but otherwise more likable...
welisc: funny, I've just seen that C++ book in my native language, and let me tell you, books are here getting *expensive*. The last time their price got so high was a few years ago, but this Christmas seems to have made all the publishers (not just of technical books) a lot greedier.
work
Lazy days go on till Monday, according to the doc... almost. A switch meltdown at workplace today, and it's all on my neck to tell (from home) what's happening with the network... Never buy unmanaged el cheapo hubs/switches. You have been warned. :)
fun
New 2.4 prepatch... It shouldn't take so long. It's time to refresh the romfs patches with the usual comments, and sneak in some bit for future features.
life
Got a few days off, my throat is finally getting better, doc check is tomorrow. Slow days, I've never slept, and read books so much in months (just the phone keeps ringing... people miss the BOFH :)
fun
So much new sw is out now.. Samba, Ghostscript... No feedback on genromfs, just a falling number of downloads. Not an UI must-have tool, I confess. :)
XFree [4.1.0] sometimes leaves my console with garbage, sometimes with a darker palette on every exit on a basic NVidia card. Upgrade imminent?
Also a revisit to doc is today, my throat is not all that better.
fun
Have to check out Subversion, and arch soon... Yeah, Bitkeeper is nice, but I crave for source :)
Advogato is slow sometimes, some of every ten page fetches stall for half a minute. Is it me, my country, or the site?
work
Another round of progress hacking. This time about triggers.
It's a 4GL with some nice aspects and some terrible ones for people
coming from another language...
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
