Long time no entry ;-).

In April, I moved east ;-) to Marburg to work as a research assistant/Ph.D. student at the Distributed Systems Group (Prof. Freisleben).

The most recent "toy" I have here is our institute's new server - a dual-G4 XServe from Apple. After fixing a bug in Apple's GMac ethernet driver, this machine is now up and running, waiting for me to finish configuring all the services it's intended to run.

Created advogato account ;-).

Tried to get my Motorola Series 900 88k-based system up and running with OpenBSD - the system is usually running Motorola System V. Failed to locate cable for serial console and was unable to find information on the RJ45 console plug.

Decided to install Darwin/x86 on a laptop here. Also failed, probably due to an unsupported IDE controller in the machine.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
