There’s bullshit in my head. Oh, and I’m aggressive too. Fortunately that was me and not des@ or phk@

I’m sorry to see this guy stopping using FreeBSD and I can’t but feel this is somehow my fault. Wait no, I don’t really care.

FWIW, it wasn’t meant to start a religion war, I just [...]

I’m always happy to read feedback about my (limited, I admit) work on FreeBSD. This X.org work has been running for quite some time and is my most significant contribution to ports.

I don’t like being rude to people and I think most of the people I’ve been working with on FreeBSD can confirm I’m a [...]

For some time I’ve seen people with wishlists and considered having one but as a FreeBSD committer my contribution was a bit too small to hope for people sending me free stuff.

Some anonymous guy left a comment today asking me if I had one so I figured I could create one at amazon now, so [...]

Yeah finally. First mail I sent to lesi about xorg-modular was on the 14th of February 2006. It’s a bit more than what Kris announced but hey, now it’s committed o/.

I’m not going to make a long post, cause I’ve already made quite a lot of them. Thanks to everyone involved in testing/reviewing/patching, we wouldn’t [...]

So we got 25 slots assigned this year, which is more than what we had last year.

This year again, I’ve proposed our students to open a blog at blogs.freebsdish.org but it seems I’m being more successful this time.

All of our students’ blogs will appear on the main planet site, the complete version and the soc2007 [...]

So we’ve been working on the last details before the merge.

Dejan worked on a safer/simpler upgrade path, which results you can find if you browse x11@ archives. Kris pointed out a few issues which should be resolved within a few days.

We’ve had a couple volunteers to review the xorg big diff this week-end (pav, marcus, [...]

As you may have noticed, freebsd blog stuff has been down lately. Erwin was hosting everything and apache crashed while he was away. For some reason, people with root access to the machine couldn’t restart it and Erwin isn’t supposed to come back before a few days.

I decided to move everything to my own server, [...]

I haven’t blogged about this in a few weeks so I figured that could be a good time to give everybody an update.

It has been decided that the X11BASE to LOCALBASE migration would happen when we merge the new X.org in the ports tree. The necessary infrastructure changes have been done but some ports are [...]

With help from mlaier and sam, I finally committed my first significant contribution to the src tree.

Few months ago, anholt gave me email addresses of people at Intel that would be willing to discuss terms under which we could redistribute their firmwares. After a few emails (and some months), we came to an agreement. I [...]

I guess it’s time to review what I’ve done for the past year. Not much actually. I’ve focused on X.org ports while trying to get my ports up-to-date. There’s also the USE_LDCONFIG variable.

Anyway, I think I can tell that this was a very unproductive year. I guess I’ve spent too much time playing games and [...]
