I’m tired. I’ve been having a spate of late nights recently and it’s killing me.<\/p>\n\n
I spent yesterday hacking the Anaconda code of the Red Hat 6.2 installer. It wouldn’t recognise drives connected to the second controller in a Compaq Proliant 8500 server. Now it does, so we can finally install our database servers using our custom Kickstart installation.<\/p>\n\n
Spent some time recently getting the cross-compiler tools for the Palm up and running under Linux. Had to sign a damn NDA with Palm<\/a> to get the SDK, but what the heck.<\/p>\n\n I want to start hacking together a GTK+ based version of a great card game called Set<\/strong>. I’ll probably prototype it in Perl and then port it to C as a programming exercise, since my programming skills must have atrophied from lack of use over the last nine months.<\/p>\n\n Once I have that version working, I’ll try to figure out how to port it to the Palm. The lack of colour on that device will make the problem more difficult.<\/p>\n\n I’ll be flying to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday and then driving to Margate<\/a>, where my mother and little sister now live.<\/p>\n\n On Christmas Day, I’ll fly to Providence for Christmas with Sarah and her family, before returning with her to Ft. Lauderdale for the New Year celebrations.<\/p>\n\n I’m really looking forward to my time off. It’s been a long year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m tired.
