  • Lushootseed characters

    Here are some of the characters used to represent text in the Lushootseed languages. This is an imperfect representation. There doesn’t seem to be a COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER W, so I’m using a second character in these cases. I also can’t find any fonts that render a c with both a caron and a…

  • SAN configuration (AoE)

    With the help of a couple of friends, we’ve put a 4.5T RAID-5 machine on our network and I’m trying to figure out how to share the storage with the rest of the hosts. In the past, I have used NFS and CIFS/Samba to provide access to remote hosts. This has generally worked okay so…

  • Hi

    I’m posting from my new android 1.6 Cyanogen. Nifty, eh?

  • Xen PV network driver

    I haven’t used Xen HVM until recently. When I was at Amazon and hanging with the Xen provisioning folks, I recall complaints about the performance of network drivers on HVM instances. I’ve recently discovered that this was due to the use of the ioemu virtual interface (vif) system. In paravirtualized environments, Xen vif devices are…

  • A quick update – I’m a grad student!

    Hey all! I’m sorry I haven’t been very active with my packages recently. I all-of-a-sudden started grad school and have been swamped with studying. I also started a contract and have been busy trying to learn a new codebase while contributing something other than snark. I promise I’ll get back to packaging IronRuby and IronPython…

  • Well, that was an eventful day!

    *whew* I did a bunch of things yesterday. We took our kindergärtner to her first Friday at her new school (and were about 10 minutes tardy. oops). We then took our toddler to a nearby playground with swings and slides and let her expend some energy. After she had been sufficiently exercised, we walked back…

  • Mono 2.4.2.3+dfsg-2 just hit debian

    Thanks to Meebey! Sorry for the being out of touch thing and the not posting anything recently thing. A vacation took me by surprise and clocked me right upside the head. Next on the TODO list: Update the dlr-languages package to indicate dependence on the new release make sure it builds correctly on my sid…
