Fsck diets.

Last night, after eating a lot of apples, in orkut in Bine’s scrapbook I read how she’s eating chocolate, and what kind of chocolate exactly… I could’t resist, took out 2 packets of instant noodles (I didn’t have the patience for anything else), and ate them. I felt alive again.
I’ll be going for paunch soup in a hour.

I fixed the links in the blog, now there are most of the needed ones, in the future I’ll probably add some more.

Something really interesting in Linux Weekly News this week:

Bacula is a cross-platform backup solution that licensed under version 2 of the GPL.

Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. In technical terms, it is a network client/server based backup program. Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.

The project’s motto is somewhat amusing: It comes by night and sucks the vital essence from your computers. [Insert evil laugh here.]

I’m seriously thinking about trying it.
This is probably a good way to palm off backdoors to system administrators, by thinking such funny names and mottos :) But it isn’t hard to imagine how a tape device, using cables as wings, flies from machine to machine, and sucks data….

(DAMN, looks like today starts the Easter vacation, and we won’t have lectures. Damn holidays.)
