A quiet, crazy day, as usual :)

Another problem was found in the retarded device, it hangs after a while, and stops accepting traffic. If there’s no answer in the next week, we’ll probably be replacing it…

We remastered knoppix, to support all the hardware that we use (the standard linux kernel doesn’t support 3ware 9xxxx raid controllers, and didn’t like the built-in SATA controllers). It turned out to a not really difficult procedure, but required to boot from the live cd for some of it, and wanted a lot of memory (because it holds the compressed filesystem in the memory while creating it, for some strange reason). The first try was a bit strange, because we were able to create a 1.4GB iso, but on the second one (after some cleaning) it built ok, and even worked :)

Next was a meeting at Rosi to discuss the OpenFest, were we talked for about hour-two and cleared up some things (we have a program ready :) ), and I wrote three pages of tasks and stuff, which later I sent to the mailing list. A lot of work was done :)

I’ve bought a new book – “Fools errant|Fool me twice” by Matthew Hughes, let’s see how good it will be… I finished reading “The Utopia” by Thomas More, but I’ve never liked the idea of a society, that’s controlled by fear, not to mention that with his implementation even the fear will be hard to keep.

I’ve put a link to Bruce Schneier’s blog, looks really interesting (I saw it at Peio’s blog).
