Eat My Data: @ luv Tuesday 3rd July

Tomorrow night (that’s Tuesday the 3rd of July) I’m speaking at LUV (Linux Users of Victoria). I’m presenting “Eat My Data: How Everybody Gets File I/O Wrong“.

This is another one of my (possibly futile) attempts to get people to care more about data integrity when writing software – and the less futile attempt to make users cry*.

* over lost data, not spilt milk.

UPDATE: date is Tuesday the 3rd . Turns out I can’t use /usr/bin/cal

    Hi Stewart,

    I really enjoyed you talk last night. Would you be able to post a copy of the slides? In particular I would like to show a colleague the code snippet for implementing fsync for MacOSX.

    cheers,
    Bjorn
