Fun Comic

Some comic fun for today: xkcd. Found during my travels over the intarweb. I realised I’d seen it before when I saw the Pi comic, but hadn’t traversed the rest of his work. It’s quite funny even though it’s drawn rather crudely. I’m inspired again to learn to draw, but… Read More

Happy Green Blocks

Bill Moore came to visit us today. Bill works with Jeff Bonwick on the Solaris kernel, specifically on ZFS, the new uber-filesystem that runs on Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. It’s still a beta product, really, but it works quite nicely as is. There are all sorts of great features in… Read More

Sleep Experiment: Day 3

Whew. Tough day today. I had real trouble getting to sleep last night, probably because I got a second wind about 9pm and wasn’t sleepy by 10:30pm. I just sortof dozed while thinking about seafelt things I wanted to do today and that kept me awake. I didn’t drop off… Read More
