Gentoo

O boy, have I had a wonderful evening. I was watching We were heroes (after the eponymous book " We were heroes … and young"), while I took a peak at #gentoo-dev and look what I found: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 (19:24) will be masked, resistance is futile (19:24) hehe (19:24) lol (19:24) Flameeyes: you're definitely watching waaay to much star trek (including Borg involvement :P) (19:24) *plop* (19:25) phreak``, watching voyager right now :P ... (19:25) phreak``, how do you know that Diego is not a borg? (19:25) bonsaikitten, I'd like to be one (19:25) who has met him? who has seen him sleep, eat or do anything else besides commiting stuff? (19:26) bonsaikitten: a human couldn't take all that crap happening to him ;) (19:26) * phreak`` runs ... (19:26) Flameeyes, let me guess, suppress emotions, optimize language, work work work? (19:26) what? Flameeyes is human? I thought he was one of vapiers scripts...

Okay, I admit I might be a bit stupid. After my previous rant about gcc-config and eselect-compiler, it turns out that my CHOST was somehow b0rked. Just removing the -pc from CHOST=“i686-pc-linux-gnu” fixed the issues.

Hrm, I think I tortured christel a bit too much, earlier .. 1 2 3 (16:53) <@phreak``> here we go ;-P /uploads/2008/08/dscn0739.jpg (16:57) <@christel> LOL (16:58) <@christel> the first one made me laugh so much Actually Chris, I think that was your and Diego’s comment(s) in combination with esammer (thanks for the decent laughing flash I had btw 😮 ) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 (22:33) <@phreak``> night everyone ;-P (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: what's that? (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: you thought you were going to get sleep? (22:33) <@esammer> ChrisWhite: as well as well formed sentences and punctuation. well said. (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: sorry pal, this is Gentoo, you're a developer (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: we don't let you sleep (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: you're over your sleep rations (22:33) <@phreak``> ChrisWhite: yeah, again .. need to get up 2 hours before sunrise (thats in 5 hours to be exact) (22:34) <@Flameeyes> phreak``, what happens to sunrise in 2 hours? (22:34) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: what if it's cloudy? (22:34) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: or what if the sun dies out?

I’m now at Frankfurt Airport and I nearly got on the earlier train to Stuttgart which I wasn’t able to catch, according to the service guy. I was facing the same problem than the morning before. The damn doors closed right in front of my face. Meh, Friday seems to be my bad luck day. I’m still waiting for the ICE supposed to leave at 20:54 but it’s currently having eighteen minutes delay. My cousin messaged me earlier that she’ll collect me at Stuttgart Central Station. The day is nearly finished now and I’m awake since yesterday morning 07:40 minus that three hour break. I’m still pretty excited that I really got to Wiesbaden and I really enjoyed that little trip (even if it was a bit expensive).

I’m sitting in the S8 to Frankfurt Airport where I’ll switch to the ICE to Stuttgart to visit my cousins and my aunt. Linux Tag was quite amazing, I finally met some of the people behind OpenVZ (Kir and Kirill), saw a bit of Andrew Morton’s Kernel FAQ (Kir told us that) and met some people including Bertl, doener, derjohn, zeng, foo, … of the linux-vserver community. Both workshops were quite interesting and I learned a lot of things about openvz and it’s userland tools and linux-vserver (finally I understood the CPU Tokenbucket system). ...

Boy, that day started great (irony). I was supposed to get my lazy ass up at 04:20 am to be at the station at 05:27 am, taking the train to Wiesbaden (together with Hollow). But someone in this odd world doesn’t like me. I somehow managed to turn off the damn cell (that was supposed to wake me up) and slept till 05:10 am, till Paula came in and woke me up. She told me she was awake since half an hour and she waited on me to step into her bedroom. ...

Today being my Birthday pretty much started my day. Somehow I managed to accept a call at 00:12 (while I was asleep) but I don’t even remember taking it. Somehow my real live is getting better and better (as in finding some friends as I pretty much was a hermit for the last couple of years). Also I found someone to share my toughts with, someone who understands it, how to really get to me (read it as a very good friend 😛) ...

Well, so I finally got around to fix some pending bugs .. vzquota and vzctl is finally bumped ( #122532), new baselayout-vserver is in the tree (fixing some issues with rebooting a vps) and I’m finally working on getting dietlibc updated. So let’s see what the day reveals 😄
