I picked up another IPX and SPARCstation 20 this afternoon, bringing my total Sun count to 5 now. I saw a rather nice HP 9000 which is frankly too large even for me to think I am going to fit in my house or parents house. There was an SGI Indy which I think I may pick up soon for a reasonable price. [UPDATED: 17:40:15 by jcm] It was an Indigo and not an Indy.

Hi, I found this excellent “memo” from an “Applicant” who was turned down for a job and subsequently offered feedback.

Ok, so I started writing real actual code. Amazing. Anyway, I discovered that Open Firmware is more than a little fiddly to deal with. I understand most of the code I have encountered though I’m not sure why it is necessary to relocate the GOT (Global Offset Table) before init and move it back after. Little things like this I will hopefully figure out later on today.

Good news! The government is to squander 330 million pounds on “domestic counter-terrorism measures”. See the BBC breakdown.

I configured jcm.printk.net which is a User Mode Linux host. Markus updated www.printk.net with the flashy graphic “printk”. I need to finish configuration today. Photos soon.

We got a colo box in Telehouse Docklands. dmesg.printk.net. I just got back from a geek trip down, in which 8 of us went to install the machine in a TFM4 rack. I will post some more when I have caught up with various important things, such as some sleep. Good night!
