I’ve been a slacker, so here’s the 10 second update:
Iron man was good. You knew that two weeks ago.
Ange and I had our immigration interview for her green card. We’re on tenterhooks right now hoping that we get an affirmative answer quickly. (Fun fact: a tenter was used to stretch cloth in the 14th century and the tenterhooks were, I guess, hooks on it. Isn’t history fun!)
We also watched LOTR all week. Still awesome.
Nerd-cool stuff I’m playing with lately:
- UML – user mode linux, I hope to get this up and running so I can script git-bisect
- coLinux – like UML for windows, which I want to use for a distcc compile farm setup at home. Alternately, someone on lazyweb can port distcc for me?
- oprofile – profile your whole box, great for ‘why is X using 90% cpu’ and ‘did ath5k_rx_tasklet ever get called?’
- ccache – Java needs this
