I should find time and really learn Japanese. There are so many interesting people in Japan, including geeks and such. All the European and Russian geeks hang out in English places, but Japanese don't even always translate their sites.

Yamit microkernel and boot finally made peace.
Everything seems to be working (enough to be useful).
This also means - I gotta make BSD server available.

I finally got everything to work. It worked once and does not work again.

Is it unfortunate or what?

I had a colleague that used to say: "Computer Science is not an exact science"

It sure seems so.

Random thought:
Moderating an Open Source project is tough job. I wonder, how long does it normally take, before benefits outweigh time invested?

I figured what was wrong with Yamit boot. Now I just have to fix it. Easier said ...

I found CVSWeb for NetBSD. VM is in much better shape. The only question is should I work on NetBSD VM or debug my own code?

Wanted to see what will happen if I apply my stuff to OpenBSD and/or NetBSD VM. I could not find CVSWeb access for NetBSD. OpenBSD VM is just a mess from maintanance point of view. UVM (which is good thing) added another source branch. I started *really* appreciate great job done by FreeBSD guys.

I made some changes to Yamit website. I also applied some optimizations to VM code. 2nd stage boot is such a problem. I should just stop being lazy and go thru this debugging nightmare again.

OK. jmallett certified me, I did the same for him. I also think he's got an interesting project, although our goals may be somewhat different. I think Yamit developers should/might want to have goals discussion at some point. However, I am not going to the one to provoke it.

jmallett best of luck at BSDCon. Europe is nice, I suggets going to southern France if even for a day.

Now, we are exchanging emails. Well, maybe something productive will come out of this.

And I think I should also have more people to talk too.

Looks like some people just live here. I looked at xMach's page since it came up in somewhat unrelated search, then at jmallett's and a few others. Man ...

Do people read kind of stuff I am writing now?

Nah...

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.
