It looks like I might be needed in Amsterdam in a few weeks. Apparently, things are taking off over there and they need someone to set up the infrastructure.
I went to see HR today to see about getting more permanent status out here in the US. It looks like they may be prepared to apply for the H-1 visa on my behalf. It’s just a shame that the cap has been reached for this year.
As I write this, I’m over in the Utah Street location, playing with Postfix as a possible replacement for qmail. It seems pretty good so far, but I still have a lot of testing to do.
I have to write a page or two for the Linuxcare University folks on configuring sendmail using M4 macros.
I’m putting together an RPM of bash 2.04 as well, but I seem to be experiencing some weirdness with the %description section of the spec file on rpm 3.04. It seems to be ignoring my text and pulling a description from some external source. Very odd.
I received a patch for signature today from Alexander Zimmerman, so I should find time to integrate that as well and announce a new version on Freshmeat. I also have an outstanding feature request list from Marcin Kasperski that I should really get around to implementing.
I’m listening to Nubreed by Anthony Pappa right now on my laptop with my headphones. This is such a great dance album, another excellent double CD from Cluboxed. I seem to be buying a lot of dance CDs lately, especially trance. Probably just a phase I’m going through. Life has been weird lately.
Rob Carter arrives in town tomorrow from Ottawa. He’s Linuxcare’s main network admin. We’ve got a lot of work to do at the end of the week, as everyone on Townsend Street and Utah Street is moving into a new location in the basement of Townsend. We have a major IP migration and rehousing task to cover, and I’m looking forward to working with Rob again.
