Muli Ben-Yehuda's journal

Here’s a brief update, a minor flexing of the blogging muscle, if you will: Calgary bare metal support is now in -mm, we are slaving and toiling on the OLS IOMMU paper (deadline April 1st, mommy, make it stop, it hurts) and I’ve been down with a nasty flu for the last few days. Other than that – everything is swell.

I should really write something more substantial one of these days. Just – not today.

nadava got accepted to the MIT Media Lab. Breath taking. Many congratulations and way to go, man!
