Umm.. no this is not what you think it is. These are not launch codes for missiles stored in my basement. Nor are these the co-ordinates for the places to be hit by ICBMs. These are the new FM stations launched recently. I’ve always thought the radio era was over. Dead. I used to wake up, pissed off, to boring (and irritating) programmes my mom put up on the radio, right from 6am. I’

Tomorrow afternoon Jeff, Gabriel (if he is feeling better), and I will set out from Chicago to Troy, Michigan for Penguicon. Looks like I will be hanging out with the Ubuntu Michigan crowd for the weekend, listening to some talks, drinking Jorge’s and Jono’s beer when they aren’t looking. Hey, I am a starving student, flat out broke. I have $20 in my name right now and searching for more before leaving tomorrow I don’t even have a place to stay yet, but I think Jorge said it best, who sleeps at a geek fest

Anyways, if you are heading to Penguicon, drop me a note here in the comments and if you want to buy me beer, food, or just hang out during the weekend, let me know

Announced, that last findutils package uses ftw.h functions to walk directory tree.
Also last findutils includes cost-based optimizer for permutation of test arguments.

Interesting staff (especially after finishing course on database optimizer engine),
I haven't missed it to download.

ftw.h means simply Walk The Tree. UG, why not wtf?

Earlier I have found bug in mkid, that used own procedure to walk directory, so it seems that it is good idea to have this procedure in standartized way.

Now compiling, after installing build-essensials, ctags and other staff on my EeePC.
