Blasted Summer Flu
Which is why I haven’t posted anything for the last several days. Headaches, coughing, general unhappiness isn’t very conducive to actually doing anything computer related. Worked from home for the last two days doing various changes syncing some hotfix releases between a Dev and Test environment (all very boring and time consuming). Went back to work today which was a mistake. Now feel very much like crap.
Some things I have been up to the last few days:
- Installed Kernel 2.6 on one of my machines. Seemed ok but am having some problems with my ps2 mouse and my kvm. This seems to be common but booting with psmouse_noext doesn’t seem to fix it. Annoying and needs more investigation.
- My server continues to limp along - two new drives are on the way, one of which will be living in a combo usb2/firewire external case. That should help the backup situation
- I continue to visit planet debian and planet gnome daily - good work by jdub to start planet gnome which then spread to debian
- SCO continue to bemuse and baffle - the “Father Christmas ate my homework” excuse isn’t likely to impress the judge and yet they continue to release press releases every time the share price looks ignored. Groklaw remains the site for SCO information with PJ doing a truly amazing job.
- I am starting to use subversion more and more as my main version control system. I still have some cvs controlled doco but that is gradually being moved over.
Aside from that, it is Friday afternoon, I’ve just taken more cold and flu tablets and I need some sleep.
