Ext3 update

Brian tells me that he's been a busy person on the ext2fs kext for OS X. One of the nifty things he's gotten working it seems is EXT3 indexing, which while not fully useful yet for using an EXT3 fs, is certainly a step in the right direction. I guess it's time for me to get off my butt and start contributing again.

Bizarre Bookmarks

A recently discovered gem of humor while passing in the halls. For those of you without a clue, it's the second entry, and the side bar that make the joke.

Update: I've been told by a few people now that the book is actually quite decent. I'm not trying to insinuate that it's not. Merely that the title and the current state of the released code by Microsoft are not in conjunction with each other.

Bond, James Bond

To give those of you an idea what's going on right now. It's Bond time on the TV. That can only mean it's a certain time of year... and no not Christmas.

More technical updates in a few days. Last night was rough and draining. Two job interviews lined up, but I don't wish to curse anything by saying more until later.

Current Projects

For those of you wondering why the silence from me recently a quick update.

If you don't follow it (and why would you, unless you're developing it) some crazy news on the EROS mailing lists. Yep, the project has been shut down.

Bob is back to blogging again. After a lot of ranting about his experience with MT, I think he's starting to like it. Anyways it's always good to get a copy of Bob's thoughts on things...

It snowed here. Lots. I have no shovel. Problem.

FreeBSD 4_9

For future reference, when upgrading a FreeBSD box from a significantly older version of a kernel to a significantly newer kernel: mergemaster first, then reboot. So says the words of experience.

Fun with foam

Probably one of the coolest things I've found on the web in the past few months: memory foam in custom sizes!
