After 10 years, I finally received an encrypted email from the ether. Which reminded me that:
Thus, it has been revoked. Let it be widely disseminated that my new key fingerprint is:

Welcome belatedly to the tens. I suppose I should summarize the previous year as is my typical MO in January.
We kicked off 2k9 freezing our appendages watching the inauguration in DC. Still worth it.
Angeline settled in to her new private practice, wowing patients and colleagues alike with her acumen and meticulousness. At the same time, in a series of poor decisions, I gained a renewed respect for Clark Kent jobs as I went part time with mine to attend grad school.
We cheered the Caps on in another playoff run from our seats in aisle 117, row G. I took ice skating lessons. My cred as honorary Canadian waxes.
We spent some time in Germany, increasing our vocabulary slightly beyond words learned from Castle Wolfenstein.
I’m close to making good pizza at home. Ange is mastering Cirque du Soleil yoga. She has also picked up lots of trivia on hockey great Bobby Orr, and learned the true meaning of “imaret” through daily application to the NYT crossword puzzles.
My goal of 100 kernel patches in 2009 was reached (123). This year, my goal is to be a better maintainer and stop sitting on patches, even while having much less time to contribute due to school.
’10 promises to be a big year as we continue that whole nucleotide ordering experiment.
Here’s how to figure out the hashes of method names used by JBoss’ RMI invoker from the shell. The first two numbers in the method signature form the length of the string. Maybe there’s a better way to do the backrefs in sed, but you do need to swap them around.
$ echo $[`printf " 00 31ping(Ljava/lang/String;)V" |
sha1sum |
sed -e "s/(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..).*/0x87654321/g"`]
Don’t ask me why I figured that out.
