I’ll space them out a bit now, no more daily pictures.
Years ago Jon Wright (a well known bearded OS/2 programmer) told me that after you get past a week of growth it stops being annoying, I think I’m getting to that stage now.

Today I discovered a bug in one of my programs, it called system() and didn’t correctly escape shell eta-characters. Fortunately I had written custom SE Linux policy for it which did domain_auto_trans(foo_t, shell_exec_t, very_restricted_t) so there was no possibility of damage.
The log files (which were not writable by the daemon by both SE Linux […]
I’ve read quite a few blog posts about someone leaving Debian and whether they should remain on Debian planet. An official policy on these matters has now been posted which stated what I expected, if you feel that you belong and meet technical criteria then you are welcome.
Not that this solves much, the next […]
The day 2 picture had an NSA coffee mug in the background. I purchased it from the gift shop of the National Cryptologic museum at Ft Meade, Maryland. I highly recommend that museum, it has free entrance, hardly any visitors (I’ve never seen more than 5 people in there) lots of interesting displays, and […]
Right now I’m just starting to break new personal records for hairyness.
I’ve been surprised that the GIMP isn’t as difficult to use as I had previously thought. I particularly like the preview feature for saving JPEGs. I can use a slider to set the quality of the image and see a preview of […]
I’ve attached another pic, titled this one day2, which I guess means that day0 (not photographed) was one day without shaving and day-1 (also not photographed) was the last time I shaved.
So far I’m still in the range of “too busy/lazy to shave”.

It seems that Toyota isn’t alone in having non-functional web sites. In fact it’s better than some, the basic information on the cars is available and it is possible to get contact information for car dealers, also they have a feed-back form on their web site (to which I submitted my previous blog post). Incidentally […]
When I visit the toyota.com.au web site it does not display any information on the new Camry, instead it displays a message saying “Unfortunately you do not have flash 8”.
A well designed web site will display information for all users, including those who don’t have flash installed.
The Toyota web site should be aimed […]
At LCA in January this year there was an auction at the end (an LCA tradition), and most people were feeling very relaxed and happy after plenty of good food and drink and bid with reckless abandon (another LCA tradition).
To help things along a few of us volunteered to do various things if […]
Last night I worked until 5AM on a magazine article. Upon review the later stages of my work weren’t of my usual quality level, and today I did nothing significant because I was too tired (fortunately it’s a Saturday).
I’m now going to cease all really late-night work except when supporting 24*7 production systems for […]
