Introduced two virgins to Mao last night, and made some real progress code-wise yesterday.

Some hope held that deadlines are reachable...

So, travelling doesn't get much easier with practice. A little, but not much :)

So here I am, relaxing for a day before we kick into high gear mode. I do like London's summer-weather, very temperate.

So, took a day to relax and wandered around london.... went to Cockfosters to see if jdub's obsession meant anything. It doesn't, well unless Cockfosters Parade means something to you.

Then went and saw Shaun of the Dead, which I suspect won't reach Sydney :[. A shame, as it was a real laugh :}.

I've been in London for a week now... quite a nice place.

Pity I'm only here on business, have to go home Monday :[...

So I started a new job 1st March, and it rocks. But I had to spend two weeks back with my old company finishing projects off.... really just want to be fully focused on the new role...

Another week, and I'm there.

So, I spend a month and a half in anticipation, and have finally started... Wow!

Now I just need to get this mountain of TODO's triaged and in progress.

SLUG had a talk tonight on the AC3 computing cluster presented by Duraid Madina. Very cool stuff - 152 dual processor 1RU rack servers...

Oh, and I finally got around to sitting down with Bruce Badger and doing the Smalltalk <-> tla hack we'd bounced around conceptually. Easy as pie ;).

Things are looking good at the moment. About to roll out a 40 site VPN on 2.4 kernels with the 2.6 ipsec code - trial by fire. And my new position is coming along nicely.

more from linuxconf.au. There is a jebab shop, open as such shops are until just after the pubs close, that sells an 'AB'.

Yios meat, chips, garlic sauce (which I skipped), chilli sauce, all wrapped into some newspaper and sold to you. -very- nice. I'm sad that linux.conf.au is drawing to a close, but I'm hopeful that some of the new friendships will remain...

WOW, just saw the coolest thing. Tridge did a talk on junkcode, and demo'd live restarting of his 'lasker' chess server - written in C - without bringing down all the tcp sessions and the like.

Again, WOW.

New Advogato Features

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.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
