Had lots of fun rewriting usbdevfs to use the VFS a lot better. Got everything working and the code turns out to be smaller, which shows how much the VFS code rocks. Wow, manipulating inodes by hand (like usbdevfs used to do) took up more code than the dentry manipulation stuff that I added. Posted the patch to linux-usb-devel if anyone is interested.Usenet
After hearing about Google's latest usenet archives, I (like almost everyone else) went to find my old postings. Thankfully I didn't write anything that I don't mind anyone reading. Unfortunatly all of my messages are not there. It does show me as having the second ever post to alt.surfing, and third post to alt.skate-board, but both of those posts are me responding to a message from someone else. So that proves that the archives aren't complete :(
I remember reading comp.os.minux back in 1988 or so, but I didn't post anything there. I can't remember when I started posting to alt.surfing, but I think it was right after the group was created. I did find the post over 9 years ago about a trip that my girlfriend at the time and I took across the country. That trip proved that we got along great. We're married now :)
