Humm... some news... I made an rss aggregator, just like debian planet... it takes the last entries from my blog, kov's and cascardos' one and put them together into one page, with links to the other entries... the next step is to make an 'information' page, with the news that interests me... I'll get to the USB bootdisk as soon as I get the time... see ya!

Yesterday I was trying to learn how to play with RSS and PHP... aand I found a class that does the hard stuff and has a clean interface... it's MagpieRSS. Now, you can see this blog here too!

Right now Aldir and I are trying to make a USB bootdisk... we have some diskless workstations booting linux via clusterknoppix terminal server. The problem is: we're not root :(. That's why we wanna boot via USB hd... our problem (up to now) is that Debian kernel has support to these stuff as modules... so we need to play with the initrd to make it load usb_storage stuff so that we can mount the USB hd as the rootfs... let's work!

Well... I'm back, after a long, long time... I'll try to keep this blog up-to-date, but this is something I just can't promise... Well.. lately I've been playing with dynamic pages... PHP, to be precise. I hat to learn it because I had to improve the site of the university I work in... I thought I wouldn't like it, but when i get used to the language, I saw it was really cool... hehehe... now my site is totally dynamic! It's something zope-inspired, and I liked it even though it's not featurefull...

Yesterday, kov and I were trying to build the L4Linux 2.4 release to try it... The L4 is a µ-kernel that provides basic funcionality like memory mapping, a fast IPC and so on. Some hackers ported the linux kernel to run in a deprivileged user-level using the features of L4... we tryed to test it, but the compilation stoped with an error and I went to my bed for a little rest :). Today (after finishing a gstreamer-player usage manual) we will try to fix the problem and go on.
