I haven't done very much free software work since last time either. I did find some buffer overflow bugs in webalizer, but they are only bugs - no vulnerabilities.

There was a new announcement about the architectures in Debian etch. It will be interesting to see how things finally turn out.

I forgot to write about it earlier, but the US-CERT published a vulnerability note about my old bugs in unace, after the same guy at Secunia Research found about six other products that were affected by the bugs as they incorporated the unace code. The Secunia guy is obviously my biggest fan, and I'll send him a signed photo real soon..

I've almost finished reading Beijing Doll, which I bought in Minneapolis last summer. It's OK but nothing special. I suppose being a punk rock rebel is more of a new idea in China than here in Europe. She'll probably write something better later on, though.

Apart from that, I've mostly been working and celebrating Christmas.

I'm getting very bored of writing here, so I probably won't update this diary very often in the future. Many thanks to those who rated, voted for and e-mailed me about it! It's nice to know that some people appreciate my work for the free/open source software community.

Happy new year,
Ulf
