татко Крокодил

I finally did one going home from the office on foot – took me about a hour, and the wind was in my face most of th time, otherwise it was nice.

Last night I made spaghetti for the first time in about two years and they turned out pretty good – seems that I haven’t forgotten how that’s done. I’m thinking about making some more tonight.

The whole week was a battle with a few really ugly bugs (some of which still aren’t fixed), some with us, some at customers. At one point it even stopped being amusing, looks like I need a bit of rest :) The memorable moments were when I killed marla while trying to patch a vulnerability with a modification of the exploit, how I cut my access to a customer’s machine when I mangled the default route (because the network configuration was hell) and some such fun doings… It’s good that there were no big problems because of this.

I’ve started rereading “Malazan Book of the Fallen” in English, I finished volume one last week, volume two should be done this weekend.

I spoke with Bogomil to be the one to open the discussion at the blog camp on the eavesdropping in Internet (and I’m thinking on persuading Boyan Krosnov to join me). It will be interesting to see who shows up – it would be nice to have representtives of the different types of ISPs, because some of my ideas might be wrong and I want to check them…

I’m renumbering zver.fsa-bg.org, I’m thinking to drop the old IP address in about two weeks – if someone is using it directly by IP, please reconfigure.
(the entry in bg.pool.ntp.org will be changed tomorrow, because the new IP address needs to get a useful rating).

I can officially say that lighttpd is better than thttpd for big files under a lot of load. The way it uses sendfile() makes it possible for the kernel to optimize in a better way the disk access and the machine is far more effective.

And the weirdest thing is that I woke up on the 15th of February without hangover :) In the last week I drank as less as possible (I haven’t stopped fully, I really hate the abstinence I get) and I feel far better.
