Alone, programming

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

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...

First exercise +- ready

Still going strong, I really think I'm done with the programming for the first exercise. For those interested, here you can see what the kernel shows when I try to start a 800kb process while there are 2 separate holes, one of 500kb and one of 300kb...

Memory defrag is ready

Today is even gonna be hotter than yesterday... and yep; still inside :) But today's going well. First of all: it works! My system call "memory defrag" actually defrags the memory, both text and data segments and updates the freelist error-free*. Means I can start on a new exercise today! A few things to be done, the most important one is let the method be called before the exec system call, but this will be trivial. Finish some documentation, clean up my code, and deploy it. But the thing works, jippie!

And another good thing is that the people renovating our flat are done with our balconies, so the noise in the morning won't come from straight next to the bed anymore but from a floor higher...

Somehow all my contacts in MSN Messenger have disappeared... no idea how!

Hot.

Today was probably the hottest day of this summer, and of course I spent it inside, sitting behind a computer. Oh... I want a holiday SO much! Anyway.

Work was interesting, although there were hardly any people. we're gonna move next week; I bought a left-over computer chair really cheap.

No title

Just came back from Daniel; we had a barbecue! So nice, of course ate too much but it was delicious. Played (again!) Carcazonne. Lost.

I finally got rid of some of the worst bugs in my mm's code; still not completely foolproof but we'll get there. Just so slow!

Testing a new feature for VIP users; still beta-phase. Regular customers of Guus Bosman.nl will get an e-mail in the next few weeks.

Bit behind schedule

Full with energy working on the memory compacting again. I'm a bit behind schedule, have to work a bit harder. Rewriting the memory manager's code, the kernel does a nice job but mm is rather buggy. The weather is beautiful... :(

Carcazonne Ettie & Gerben

Today at work we heard that the new project will be started; cool. Have a look a Net.Footworks.

Gerben & Ettie were here; played Carcazonne again ;) Gerben plays in a band, he made a homepage.

Burned!

I have sun tint. Unbelievable as it might seem I spent the whole day (well, from 2) outside. Went to Oosterpark, nice sun, Carcazonne, drinks & food; super beshe.
