mark :: blog :: apache week
Driving with Ken Coar,
RoUS is scary. Not that he is a bad
driver; far from it. Not that he had a
bad hire car; this thing was huge and black and probably
needed
five cows just for the leather seats. No, the scary part
was actually
the Hertz GPS system which we used to navigate from the
Hotel
to Apple where the apache hackathon was held.
Somehow we ended up on a tiny dead-end street, then the
device
decided to stop talking. Rather than tell us we'd gone
wrong, or
which way to go, or even "please proceed to the highlighted
route", it went quiet and refused to speak for the rest of
the journey.
Worked out my schedule for the next weeks, I fly to England
next week for 4 days, then to Raleigh for 4 days, then
Reston Virginia for 4, then Raleigh for 3, then Santa Clara
for ApacheCon for 5, then Raleigh for a week, then back to
the UK. All economy too :-(
Finally got a spare few hours so finished updating the XML
database
of news stories about Apache. Used it to update the
apache.org
in the
news page.
FInished "The Longest Journey". Best interactive fiction
I've ever played.
My DELL laptop wasn't suspending to disk, found out it was
because the suspend partition had to be in the first 8Gb of
the drive. Took that time to re-install Linux (it had never
been installed right) and decided to use the latest Red Hat
rawhide. I was pretty amazed when it detected and worked
with my Wavelan card and random PCMCIA modem without having
to download a thing. These Red Hat guys are great *grin*
