changing IP addresses while someone is online is *not* cool. What’s more, it’s *really* annoying. optus, you suck balls and your fraudband irritates me.
I wish we had some decent cable in this country.

hons slides
presentation on thursday, 2pm in 135(26) – the seminar room. old building, it’s very bare atm…..
at least video out works on my laptop – YAY!
waiting for feedback on the latest slides.
have done rearranging on the thesis.
practice presentation
got some feedback regarding the practice presentation i gave today – although it was about 8 mins over time (meant to be 15), i know where i can cut out some stuff.
comments and notes below:
clarity of Walnut better than unix, problems with walnut
explicitly state BeFS, maybe before ‘trends’
relate explicitly file systems -> object store
explicitly state that word processing is an example – perhaps state others
positioning of problem pages, bring together, remove duplicates
tie solutions to problems
summary slide of what works
use meta-data stuff as extensibility example
if trouble with time, drop out some extra things.
work a bit more at very beginning.
explain walnut,
what it does
how my project relates to it
explicit Aims slide
1/2 busted CF reader :(
from the ‘not-so-cool-anymore gadgets’ dept.
Well, i’ve been having some problems with it, which I can no longer really put down to linux usb mass storage drivers, Michael’s USB key worked flawlessly (with pretty flashing light), so it’s probably the CF card reader that is giving in the ass.
darn. have to buy another sometime.
plus, my camera worked fine (in fact, better than the CF reader i think) so maybe it’s time for a nice, decent, good CF card reader. Pity, i liked the physical design of this one.
balance
trying desperately to balance coursework and thesis.
it’s insane and i don’t know if i’m giving things reasonable priorities.
i now know how a process scheduler feels
scan in pages of notes?
that would make some sense, and form an update – but gah – the screen on the machine with the SCSI card and the scanner has carked it, and i really cannot be bothered doing remote X and walking down stairs to change the paper.
live with not knowing what i’m doing.
or, just wait for the CVS logs or some strange thing.
gah, darn too much to do.
no text?
why was there nothing displaying? I least i hope it is “was”.
linux-2.4.22-ben2-stew1-xfs available
Okay, I admit that the -stew1 part is pure vanity – but hey, that’s what EXTRAVERSION is for, right?
A patch against stock 2.4.22 which gives you:
– benh fixes and features
– a fix for that annoying message on console when changing brightness (brightness down seems to generate a newline for me still, but it’s better than annoying text)
– XFS file system from SGI.
I have .debs if people are interested, can upload.
patch-2.4.22-ben2-stew1-xfs.bz2
Other useful things to note:
– Firewire now works for me, I’ve even burnt a BeOS CD!
– A newer version of the HFS+ driver is out, head on over to

to grab a copy. See Roman’s recent LKML post for details.
as always, feedback welcome.
enjoy :)
not a door
i should point out that that white thing in the photo below isn’t a door, it’s a pillar. like the one you can see in the middle of the room in the 2nd photo.
Even the sign telling you where the printers are has had to go.
Prohibited behaviour
This type of appauling behavior is prohibited in the STRIP joint. Especially not in the fish bowl!
That’s: “Please do not tap the glass (it disturbs the fish)” on the left, and “Welcome to the Monkey House, The Code Monkey House” on the right.
The big camel is a perl program that prints the small camels. This is also not allowed.
