jdub has promised to wear a dress as his intro speech at Linux Conf AU’s gnome miniconf….
(this is half publicising it everywhere so that we can force him to do it, and half just for a good laugh)

pants
Some fixing on my box (darn libtool and crap) and now jhbuild is actually doing some building and it’s working! yay!
well… let’s see if i can get evolution and all it’s dependencies going… :)
pants!
reminder to self
find out why linux 2.4.22-ben2-stew2-xfs is crashing on saving the clock on shutdown. It’s really annoying.
Junkcode updates
New stuff on junkcode including my LaTeX word counter, scripts to help in Tru64 to FreeBSD migration and PINE to Maildir stuff.
reiser4
I’m trying to go through and understand parts of the reiser4 code – specifically where and how blocks are freed.
I thought that maybe as a little introductry thing I could try and implement a “secure delete” option – i.e. one that basicall just writes rubbish over a block just before freeing it.
I have a feeling i’m going to have to ask some questions on the reiserfs-list :)
really cool Austrian movie on SBS
Just saw the last 50 mins – 1hr of this really hilarious Austrian film on SBS. All in German (or the version of it that is spoken there – i don’t know) it had me really laughing all out loud.
Heros in Tyrol
and here’s about the only thing that Google shows about it:

bloody hilarious – would love the DVD so i could watch it all – musical comedy. great.
relocate pc?
Although it’s real good having a nice fast computer under the desk, the breeze from the fans is making my feet cold.
Needs an exhaust fan too – don’t like it only having one at the front (to cool hard drives) and the power supply’s (two).
Whoever the idiot was who decided that the graphics chip should face AWAY from the airflow inside the case should be twacked on the head. That’s where the biggest lot of heat is in my box – right beside the graphics card – because there’s sweet FA airflow around it (well, excluding the little fan on the chip there).
my old free open diary account finally got deleted – just after i downloaded it (WITH NOTES!), so now i may go update my free open diary import script to import notes as well. now that would be cool……
nearly there
getting closer and closer, i think i’ve managed to cover everything.
constructing the log book which also needs to be handed in, collating things from here and there. This entry is basically the last one that’s going to appear as i’m simply too lazy to print this off tomorrow.
180 odd pages, hoping that i can catch ron or carlo today to go over parts of it.
still have to write intro/conclusion. urghhhhhhhhhh
added final presentation slides
polish and additions
Trying to polish off the thesis, add bits taht need adding, and extra discussion where needed.
I’m hoping to actually be able to cover everything I’ve thought about – but I do begin to doubt it sometimes – i’ve thought too much.
Currently 173 pages.
talk went okay – not as good as i really wanted, but there was a problem with balancing time to explain the background information needed (lots) vs what i’d done.
