Muli Ben-Yehuda's journal

• We are hunting for a new place to call home for the next few
  years. Saw several, ruled out many more. Almost closed on one, but
  the realtor turned out to be a lying SOB. Interested in another one,
  provided the price comes down substantially. We’re not in a hurry,
  so we’re biding out time and waiting.

• New semester at school, not too busy so far. One math class, one
  CS class and one operating systems seminar. The math class is not
  too difficult, but definitely time consuming. The CS class –
  Networks A – is pretty simple stuff, and the OS seminar can rule my
  world, if I’ll just find time to work on it. Details to come as soon
  as I have it working – FSMinimalVO working. For those who have long
  memories, it has to do with my favorite Lisp
  OS and a certain virtualization environment.

• Work is great. We submitted a paper to SOSP 2005(!) on one of
  the projects I worked on last year, although we don’t think we have
  much of a chance (don’t tell the program committee). This is the
  first formal paper I’ve ever written, and the experience has been
  eye opening. Right now I’m working on an interesting OS related
  research project with an outstanding team. Too bad we’re still in
  stealth mode and I can’t say anything about it 🙂

• I’m still hacking on Xen, for work, school and fun. Details will
  be forthcoming, as will code.

My sweetie is calling – to be continued!

ladypine and me are engaged to be married. I proposed to
her a couple of weeks ago on Saturday morning while on a trip in the
Carmel mountains. Words cannot describe how happy I am to have found
her, a soul mate to share the rest of my life with.
