Hacking
Got back to work on Reiska after about a week with OCaml. Getting back to C after working on a nontrivial (for me, anyway) project in a new-ish language feels like getting a cast off your leg, finally being able to walk unaided again. Whew. I'll definitely get back to OCaml one day or another; I got the Freenet 0.3 style crypto layer stuff working pretty well, with only a couple of C wrappers for Twofish and Rijndael encryption (I did have to write a partial wrapper for the mpz_* functions in GNU MP for the Diffie-Hellman key agreement stuff though - maybe I'll be able to rewrite it for numerix or Big_int someday.). I've a nagging feeling that GNU MP doesn't particularly enjoy having the mpz_ts garbage collected, compacted and otherwise shoved around - this could be the reason why the simple test server (connection acceptor would be a better term) seems to segfault after a couple hundred test connections. I haven't a clue how to fix this, so I'll go into procastrination mode, perhaps hack Reiska a bit more...
Gadgetry
Got myself an optical, cordless mouse (one of those Logitech mice). The weight is quite a bit more than what I'd have expected from an optical mouse, though the two AA batteries aren't light either. It's also a little too sensitive for my tastes, but that may just be a configuration problem in XF86 (gpm works fine). The price was a bit on the expensive side, but if this mouse lasts me say 2 years it'll have been worth it (normally I go through two mice per year).
Life (still don't have one)
Finally went and bought myself a pair of sunglass thingies that clip to the sides of my glasses. Didn't have a good reason to wear them though, it started raining which then turned into a full thunderstorm, complete with lightning and 2-second power outages. Since I don't have an UPS (I'm in finland fer crying out loud, we don't get any non-lightning related power outages!), it was fsck(8) time for all three PCs. Lost a 36-day uptime on the firewall, too. Damn.
