Link: The MINIX 3 Operating System.
For the last couple of days, I’ve been reading the Minix source code. I’m really enjoying it. The code looks like it was clearly written for pedagogical purposes. The Linux kernel source is also a worthwhile but a much harder read. I might even be getting off my programming languages kick at the moment. Might being the operative word. Let’s see how I feel in a week or so.
A number of significant departures in the current year have made me think. Is this still a place where I want to be? The bureaucracy and mundaneness have made me think about this seriously.
I’ve been here awhile and I’m not quite sure what I’m doing anymore. A couple of things are keeping me around:
1) The people I work with.
2) Promise of a new role with bigger responsibilities
3) A nice equity payoff next August
This one is public news but a number of people are seriously thinking about it.
Link: The Code.
A hilarious read for insecure men everywhere. I’ve rented both Chocolat and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I’ve also bought an issue of Cosmo (a review is coming). So there!
Link: EPIC 2014.
I don’t think that would be such a bad world. In fact, it might be kind of nice not to have all the big media players. Small independent voices might start wielding real power.

This is VIM, an elegant tool from a more civilized time [to paraphrase a certain jedi knight]
Link: Tadpole.
BULLFROG Dual Processor notebooks from Tadpole are the most powerful Solaris notebooks money can buy. Ideal as a mobile workstation or as a portable server for rapid deployment in military and disaster recovery applications.
Papa wants one of these bad boys!
A flock of seagulls flew overhead!
Incoming! Incoming!
I ducked the oncoming barrage!
But a white chunk hit me square!
Square on my head!
