Another day of coding.
Sent off an old modem to dad (mom's modem got fried last week). Sent an old CD rom to John, along with an ISA card and associated cable. Damn, I'm just a nice guy.
I'm re-downloading M17 mozilla (from CVS this time, as if it will make a difference) so that I can get SSL in mozilla (see previous journal entry about how netscape must die). It will probably compile for the next few hours.
inilib meeting with Brian today got pushed off until tomorrow morning.
Did a reconcile of our wedding registry gifts between what the stores say we got and what we actually got. We got more of some things than the stores listed, which means that people found deals elsewhere. I'm all in favor of people saving money when they buy us stuff.
(netscape just finished downloading itself, and is now running configure)
I really need new foam ear thingies for my telephone headset --
they shed on my ears and it looks like I have a five o'clock shadow on my ears (and my, that's attractive!) after using it. Must remember to go to Radio Shack tomorrow...
Getting closer to LAM release. The RedHat folks are freezing this weekend (did I mention this in a previous entry? Can't remember), so they want a version that is "as close as possible", but we're anticipating putting a out a LAM update RPM when it goes stable. Ugh
-- and he (the RedHat Guy, whose name has a non ASCII character, so I can't type it too easily) found an embarrassing bug in the 6.3.3b27 that I put out earlier today. 6.3.3b28, coming right up!
Found a particularly annoying bug in tping today; I thought it would be a simple bug to fix, but turned out to be hard to find until I realized that some buffers were getting allocated too small, thereby creating overflows. Damn the overflows -- LAMming speed!!
I have one major issue that I want to solve before putting LAM through all the regression tests; he can't get PTY support to work on SCO Unix -- at least one LAM node bails before MPI_Init. Hmm. I can't tell if it's his setup or if LAM is actually doing something wrong. Hmm.
dell.com says that my new computer is estimated to be shipped on August 22. Yummy!
I ripped all my Yes and Led Zeppelin CDs today. I have many, many Yes CDs. I'm in the middle of Pink Floyd now. I installed the beta vorbis XMMS plugin, and it works like a champ. However, it takes up 100% of the CPU vs. single-digit% when playing MP3s. Hmm. Let's hope it gets better (it is still beta, after all).
My lynx, netscape, and LocalWords enhancements to the journal client continue to please me.
My DSL alarm light just flashed alarmingly. I think it's a signal for me to go to bed.
