Muli Ben-Yehuda's journal

Had a grueling week, first preparing and then teaching the classes on
operating systems and C programming. I’m baaaack now.

Some eclectic catching up:

• Shachar Shemesh, proprietor
  of Lingnu, has a blog now! It’s in Hebrew,
  though.

• I snarfed Dan Simmons’s Illium
  in paperback. I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into.

• HTML-TEMPLATE is
  a lisp library for generating HTML easily. Looks useful for my latest
  (and as of now, vaporware) project.

• I have ~180 unread emails in my work inbox. All of them need to be
  read, and some need to be responded to. I do not look forward
  to dealing with them.

• My diet has taken a turn for the worse (to put it mildly) this
  week. I’m back on the horse now, though!

• Things are not looking good in
  SCO land. Reminds me of a certain quip about revenge being a dish best
  eaten cold…

• Interesting
  thread on brad‘s journal with regards to being
  robust in the face of random things assuming fd 0 is stdin, 1 is
  stdout, and 2 stderr and writing to them.

There were other things I wanted to write about, but I can’t remember
what. Oh well, till we meet again!
