Testing

Tue, 07/17/2001 - 9:35am

Today I've been testing all the exercises; they all work fine. This week I'll submit them all.

For one exercise of my previous practical assigments (programming languages), the one in Perl I got a 9. Very happy obviously!

Kernel bug

Sat, 07/14/2001 - 9:52am

There's a nasty bug in the kernel now. I created it :) It seems to happen only when the amount of msglog's in the second part of the circulair array < 64... Hmmm.

Message log in Minix

Sat, 07/14/2001 - 5:21am

Yesterday evening I started with the 3rd (really the 1st) exercise, making a message log special file. Last year I also did this exercise; I can reuse quite some code (especially from the user program). It's going well.

Kernel part ready

Fri, 07/13/2001 - 1:13pm

Today I finished the kernel part of the second exercise... I'm ready with the 2nd one! Already tested it quite well, but maybe I should use some kind of automatic testing. Also have to upgrade the code of the 3rd exercise.

But first I'll begin (now) with a new exercise: logging the messages given to and from the kernel, MM and FS etc. Did it last year already; won't be very hard.

User program ACL ready

Tue, 07/10/2001 - 4:11pm

Cool, finished the user program for this exercise. There is still quite some work to do but it's going well. Today I was programming from 11:00 to 23:00 (still going strong :)). I really want to go on holiday, that's why.
Now I'll start implementing the check in the FS that knows about acl's.

Minix going well

Tue, 07/10/2001 - 11:28am

Well... it seems to be working now. No more file system panics, and the fsck says everything looks fine after I've used my new system call. Nice. I'm really happy I don't have to work on naked hardware, but have a nice software shell around it (with oh--a redoable disk, super).

File system

Tue, 07/10/2001 - 10:40am

spent the whole day programming in the file system. Still don't trust my code completely yet; but it's going. Pretty boring, alone.

Alone, programming

Sun, 07/08/2001 - 9:47am

Today my girlfriend left to Bulgaria for a couple of weeks... I'll miss her!

I'm working on the "rough" work now, doing copy's from kernel to user space and vv. This is pretty easy, now I'll see if I can store the data in the block.

MSN Messenger continues to experience a service outage for some customers. We wholeheartedly apologize for the inconvenience you may be experiencing. Our operations team is working diligently to restore full service (including restoration of all personal contact lists) as soon as possible. Our goal was to restore service to ALL MSN Messenger customers by late Friday, July 6th. While we have restored service to many users, some accounts are still experiencing problems when trying to log in. We are working around the clock to have MSN Messenger fully restored to all users worldwide as soon as possible. Please continue to check back for updated status reports. Thank you for your patience.

ACL in Minix

Fri, 07/06/2001 - 5:08am

Today it's the second day I'm working on the new assigment. This time I have to implement ACLs for Minix (instead of using the Unix default "rwx-w-x-r--" kind of things). Baiscally means a lot of work in the filesystem, as these ACL will be stored together with the files (not in a seperate big directory).
I feel this exercise will be easier than the previous one (bigger but easier) and take les time. Let's hope it does, maybe I can go on holiday!

My MSN Messenger account is now completely down...
