Well, It's 2pm. I'm here since midday. Left here "last
night" at 7am this morning. No time to sleep. To may things
to do, and there is a lot of things I want to tell you.
Lets start with zzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well, i never said I would stop with the time leaps :-)
Things here are running smoothly. Lots of work ona lot of
fronts.
A few RPM patches got in, I'm working on a few other
functionalities.
Also, I'm trying to compile and get openoffice running. Not
an easy task, and not my field.
I have started messing with User-Mode-Linux. It's pretty
cool.
Btw, I would like to make a little point about ratings.
If you don't know me or my work, PLEASE, don't rate
me.
If you only know me, but don't know my work, then again,
don't rate me.
If you already rated, please, remove your
rating.
Of course, if you know my work, even if you don't know me
your rating is very welcome.
I'm felling this rating system is becoming something like a
status, or something like "I like you (or the rate you gave
me), so I'll rate you as Master". Please, this is not the
idea of the rating system. It's a great idea, don't screw it
up, ok ?
Nothing new to report, sir. Only a few patches for RPM
4.1.
And, anyway, I'm not inspired to write today :-)
Talking about time leaps :-) Well, lets go to the talk
:-)
Conectiva Linux 6.0 is almost at the streets. Things are
starting to slow down a little, so I'm back on the projects
:-)
I have started testing glibc 2.2 heavily now. Acme asked about we changing our
network to a nighttime cluster for these tests and others.
Looks like a nice idea. We should be starting to work on it
next week.
Also, I have started submiting some patchs to rpm.
Oh, ever since glibc 2.1.94 and a little patch I applied at
gcc 2.95.2, everything is working now :-) glibc 2.2 is
really great. Hope it will be released soon.
Anyway, I hope it doesn't take another time leap for me to
write here again :-)
Ok. Another time leap :-) Things are a little crazy
here.
I'm having a little bit of personal problems, so don't
expect much right now. :-(
Things here at conectiva couldn't be better. Well, they
could, but since my boss will be reading this (hiya acme :-)), I better behave :-).
Anyway, Conectiva Linux 6.0 release date is aproching fast.
Lost of stuff must be ready for this release. Lots of
packages need to be tested, upgraded and so on. I'm doing
about 10 to 15 packages a day, so you can guess the workload
everybody here is under. Not that is a bad thing. This is
the first place I work that such a stressy workload does not
create stress itself, nor make the working environment worst
a bit.
Well, my personal projects are definitly on hold, for an
underteminated amount of time. Sorry to say that. Lost of
things to do here, and I have personal interest in most of
them.
So, all in all, things are as good as I gets (:-)). Hope to
have news to write here soon.
As a side note, I'm still doing compilations tests with all
our packages and glibc 2.1.93 (2.2beta). Most programs work
flawlessly. Some are givnig me problems, but I'm still using
gcc 2.95.2. I guess most of them will desapear with gcc
2.96.
I'm also performing some performance tests with MTA's. The
results will be published on the Revista do Linux
magazine.
Well, it's a long time since I wrote anything here. There is
a lot to
catch up.
I'm now on Curitiba, working a Conectiva. It have been quite
a chanlenging job, working side by side with Acme, Riel,
Roxo, Ruda, Gwm and
others.
I'm currectly testing glibc 2.2pre (2.1.92/93) and gcc 2.96
in our environment. Quite a few programs does not compile
anymore :-) Most of them do, fortunatly. The others, well,
I'm working on them.
I hope I'll stay active here once again.
I'm scared ... I'm very scared :-)
Well, after making a fool of myself a lot of times, and
being a total clueless newbie, I decided to dedicate some
time studing the kernel.
What makes me scared is that
I'm starting to understand it. 2-5% of it already make sense
to me. I know it's little, but it's a start.
On the userspace country, my squidSQL project has been
aproved by SourceForge. I'll be restarting it this weekend,
I hope.
Also, I hope so finish yafingerd 1.0.0 next week. I haven't
had time to mess with my opensource projects in a while, so
it's time to catch up.
I think squidSQL will be in pre-release version in the next
3 weeks, or so I hope. Next week I'll have lots of think to
do here.
Today is update day ! lol
Doing Kernel updates, sendmail updates and so on.
Also trying to upgrade de head of some co-workes, which is
particulary dificult, since they don't support RPM :-)
Well, anyway. This afternoon I have 3 meetings scheduled !
Ach !
And talking about schedulling, Riel's fairsched patch for 2.2.15
patches nicely on 2.2.17pre1. Got only one offset message,
but it worked ok. Don't let it stop you from using it.
On the project side, I'll talk with people here about the
squidSQL project today. Also, I applyed for an area on
sourceforge for this project. It should be aproved without
problems, and I can start working on it tomorrow.
Okey, looks like Friday trip really paid off. Our company
is interested in my squid+mysql project ! Cool. I think I'll
have more time to work on it. I'll have to make squid not
only authenticate using mysql, but also save its logs on it.
I think it will not be that a chalenge, but I may be
wrong.
Some late updates :-)
8 Jun 2000
Well, long time since I posted anything here, and a lot
happened.
Ipam_mysqldb project is still on hold. I
really
don't have
the time it takes to mess with it, but I'm sure to continue
with it latter
yafingerd is almost at production level. I'm
finishing the
documentation. Portability is great, and it's working
flawlessly on various environments.
I have started a project to create a module to have squid
authenticating on a mysql database. It's almost ready.
Just
need a little time to finish the config stuff. I may even do
some patchs to make it log stuff into it, who knows. All I
need is time, which is exactly what I don't have.
Now, for the greates news even *grin*. I'll be moving to
Curitiba, to work at conectiva. Riel, I know you are
reading
this :-) Prepare yourself *lol*.
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.
