Notes:

I'm a PhD student in Cambridge, UK and I do open source development, too.

Online, people usually know me for Linux-NTFS, LDM, and small amounts of random Linux kernel hackery.

Other opensource projects I am/used to be involved with are dxr3 and emu10k1.

Wow, a long period of time without a diary entry. )-: Lots of things have happened. Most notably my girlfriend and I got engaged! (-:

Much PhD work happened, too. A lot less Linux NTFS work happened unfortunately. I have certain doubts as to whether much Linux NTFS work will happen before I finish my PhD next summer but we will see...

I hope to be able to do some API cleanups to the NTFS library and to make a formal release as the last one was ages ago and we now have two new utilities longing to make public appearances (ntfsundelete and ntfsresize).

Another month over. Today we celebrate a big milestone in the development of the new NTFS driver. We now have working file data overwrite via mmap(2) working! And it even worked first time... (-8

My fingers are itching to get the write(2) based overwrite code done and dusted, too, so I can make a formal release to LKML and the world at large. Hopefully it will all have happened by the next time I remember to write a diary entry. (-;

It has been a long time since the last entry! How time flies...

Too many things have happened to list, Linux wise, libntfs has made very good progress, API freeze hopefully will be possible in the near future. The ntfs driver has made a lot of progress, too, to the extent that there are only two items on the ToDo list (NFS exporting and i_size overflow investigation) left before I begin to attack the long awaited write support.

Today we had our summer here in Cambridge, UK! Sunny and nice and warm. (-: Most likely it will start raining again tomorrow... It's been a particularly wet and unpleasant summer this year. At least I managed to spend a week in Scotland and a week in France where I enjoyed much nicer weather. (-:

Let's when I next remember to write a diary entry...

Almost a month without an entry... Oh well, better late than never. (-:

Released an update to the NTFS Linux kernel driver today. Nothing major. Just wanted to push it out in celebration that I finally have a booting 2.5 kernel again.

Have been hacking away on the ntfs library from the linux-ntfs package on Sourceforge. Dumped about a quarter of the code and started again, now going for a proper API which should hopefully not need to change once I am done hammering it out. Most of the code is modified or rewritten now, lots of code ported from the new ntfs driver, and I improved it on the way so it needs porting back into the driver now. (-8 Time has come for adding more features to the library but that is a slower process.

Not much else happening, much PhD work, also am sick for second week now but getting better slowly... )-: Oh well, gives me more time to sit at home, sip hot beverages and chat on irc. (-:

I should try and update this diary more frequently I guess. Perhaps next time... (-;

Finished the new NTFS Linux kernel driver (read-only)! Posted it and got some excellent feedback so far. Speedwise it definitely is a significant improvement. I am happy! (-8

Went to Richard M. Stallman's lecture on software patents this afternoon. Brilliant talk. RMS certainly is a very good speaker. And I fully agree with him, too. Software patents are evil full stop!
