The Design and Implementation of laffer1

EVIL.  Do not use CBL.  They falsely list real mail servers.  How can a machine with BSD get a windows trojan which is their only claim.

53% of india's children are sexually abused!  They have 19% of the total world population of children!  That's just fucked up.

I wake up to cat vomit all over the bedroom.  Caryn's left for Flint, probably already there.  I'm eating toast this morning.  Woo hoo.  I do hope that I feel good soon. 

The last few days have been rough.  Caryn and I got food poisoning.  While we are not sure, the most likely cause was some from a local starbucks.  I bought Caryn and I some coffee and dropped it off at her work.  It really sucked.  She's feeling better today but I'm still a bit icky. 

She's got a family gig tomorrow in Flint and I don't know if I'll feel like going or not.  My aunt also invited us over but as usual it was at the last minute.  I hate that.  Caryn's family invited us first.  I wanted to just sit here and relax this weekend.

I've drank like 4 liters of water this weekend.  Anyone who knows me should know how sick I really am!  I don't typically drink water. 

Worst part is I've had a lot going on with my BSD project this weekend.  We had to back out propolice which really sucked.  We think we tracked down the source of the problem and it wasn't going to be even a moderate time fix.  Switching to gcc4 is probably a better option.  We removed static opera in the process but I think that might be for the better.  The shared qt version works much better anyway.  I had to reinstall MidnightBSD during the process on my desktop.  I switched over to amd64.  Its working OK.  There are some bugs I need to work out.  I really miss the binary nvidia drivers though.  nv sucks in this version of xorg.   I'm getting garbage on the screen randomly in x. 

I did get a lot of ports work done over the last two days.  We want to branch soon.  I'm still contemplating how far to go with 0.1.  I know what makes sense but so many people expect the first release to be "done".  Its very frustraiting.

Midnight got into some pepto yesterday and got very pissed off as he was feeling "bloated" we will say.  he kept us up most of the night bitching.  It was rather fucked up. 

The semester is nearing the end and I don't feel very prepared.  In fact, things are very shitty. 

Going back to mbsd for a sec, I felt bad having to back out propolice.  It was archite's largest commit in awhile.  Even he agreed we had to do it, but still it sucked.  I talked to someone about mbsd for a few hours in chat today.  I think we might have some users if this release works out. 

I still haven't looked at my next to figure out what is wrong with it. I wish i could remember how to get into single user.  I might be able to fix it then lol.  I should look that up.  It seems like it was a weird key combination.  Funny thing is i remember it on a mac.. command s

I saw jj had 154 users.  Its gained 34 users this year already.  That's pretty good.  Every other weekend I spend a day on it now.  Next time I think i need to add categories or something.

So now P-H has a water main break.  That means no bathrooms on this side of campus that are convenient.  I went over to the student center for lunch and now I feel like crap.  I ordered a cheese pizza but found some ham in one piece.. the other three were ok.  This is the second fucking time i've found ham in my food lately.  My breadsticks and cheesecake were ok at least.  I ended up picking up a starbucks double shot and some naive water... on the way back.  Of course when they go through me i have a problem. 

the website was up at least.  I got some of the math crap downloaded for review on my work computer. 

I've got 4.6 hours left before my test.  How lovely for me.  :)

I can't study for my math test. the my emich portal is down because of too many registrations! SON OF A BITCH

I don't want to register. Someone is an asshole.

I got my assignment turned in and it sounds like i didn't need to handle multiple clients! DAMN! I'll find out for sure when she schedules demos.

I got my paper for lit written already. It was the fastest I've written one. I don't like it but its 2.5 pages of somthing to turn in!

I hope Caryn is feeling better. My prof and a number of students were sick today as well. Lots of coughing.

I've still got a damn math test tonight.

I spent two hours on a stupid bug again.  With my homework assignment, the gdb output was giving me a SIGBUS with a pthread function i wasn't calling.  I did rediculous debug statements trying to figure it out.  In fact I just turned it in with a few :(

Anyway, the stupid problem was that i wasn't always passing a string for the username but always trying to strncpy it!  I assumed it was a problem with threading for a time.  At least i got something turned in.  I was able to use two accounts simultaneously with it too.  (same accounts even) 

It was rather fast too.  Finally, the adb debugger on solaris sucks really bad.  gdb is much easier to use and gave meaningful output. 

At least the assignment is turned in.

One of the worst movies ever made is on iTunes... Boat Trip! Dear God no! Manos is worse but its not that far off.

I got GM on this one:

This programming assignment is so annoying. I have to write an ATM using C + TCP sockets and since it must handle multiple requests on the server end, I'm using pthreads.

I just finished writing the deposit function for the server. I've still got to write withdrawal and transfer functions. I originally calculated that I should be on the client piece today. This isn't so good.

Most of the functions are similar but with the locking i have to do since its multithreaded it makes it a big hassle. Everytime I write a function, i take a few minute break. If I don't, I'll go nuts!

I just made some cookies using a betty crocker mix.  First time I've tried to bake in a few years.  They didn't come out too bad.  I don't usually make peanut butter cookies.

My server is more than half done.  (for homework)

I'm watching some ds9 episodes.

Partitioning IS NOT A DISK QUOTA.

Yeah i know terrible. 

As usual I proved once again I suck in math.  This time I had to withdraw from stats.  I was stuck with a limited number of classes I could sign up for, but it was also very stupid to sign up for 2 math courses, the network course from hell, work and try to maintain an Operating System at the same time.  WTF was I thinking?

Apparently godaddy gives away SSL certs to open source projects.

I'm not sure if we really need one for MBSD.  It would have been nice to know for JJ but what can I do now :)

Adam suggested I get one for MBSD but I don't know if i want to "waste" the ip on that right now.  JJ already uses SSL on the main IP.

I'm amazed by the number of posts just journal is generating these days.  In the first three months, I think we've done more than all of 2004 for users and posts.  Sad isn't it? 

I may have to allocate some cycles to two issues with JJ. 

1. Fixing the picture feature.  (remove and memory leak)
2. Adding a password reset form since I get that request a lot. (if you forget.. you can reset them in the preferences now if you already know it.

Yes!  Freedom of speech!  A judge actually ruled parents are responsible for their children and can use filters!!!!!!!!!!  

+1 freedom

The dark times... the emperor... All well. i've had like 4 security vulnerabilities in like 6 months!  Kiss my ass! 

I just had a 12 pack container break and drop all my pop to the ground outside.  One of the cans was punctured and started shooting pop all over hell.  Damn Coke! 

Here's a site with mirrors of CVS for most of the BSD projects including MirBSD, DF, Open/Free/Net, etc. (everyone but MBSD)
