I am back in the country after wintering abroad. Toronto: still cold.
While away I managed to get some work done on the latest installment of the Rio Karma project: a FUSE-based implementation of the “Optimized” MPEG Filesystem. This one has the advantage that it theoretically will work with the busted every-byte-swapped ReplayTV, and that it takes approximately 10% more time than the kernel driver for a given task. There still isn’t an official release because it will destroy your hard drive and wipe off the serial number so you won’t be able to replace it. Plus it gives another excuse to use git, which has finally replaced svn in my day-to-day.
Meanwhile, work is continuing to suck, with two more people gone this week. So, I’ll be on the market shortly. I’m not sure what I want in a new job but my usual criteria apply: linuxy, interesting, not evil, and convenient commute-wise (I’m about 1 for 4 at current job). I don’t particularly care if it makes millions or not.
Not a whole lot is going on otherwise. Santa brought us a Wii and the wife kicks my ass in tennis. Weird that no matter which controller I use, it’s always the broken one. Just like when playing soccer on the Sega in college…
