06:39 – The ultimate geek experience

21:39 PST

More meetBSD devsummit at Google today. I spent most of the day kicking the Coverity nightly builds back into shape. They've been down for 18 months, mostly waiting for someone to put on the "okay, I'll do it" hat and actually do it. So that's me. I know, I'm a static analysis fanboy.

After the devsummit, I took plosher up on an offer to take a tour of ISC's datarooms in Redwood City. I also took along a todo-list of FreeBSD boxes we've got there to see if I could poke them into doing something more meaningful than suck power and distress airco. The ultimate geek experience!

I saw (part of) the wayback machine. It's red. :-)

Off to Boston very early tomorrow morning. I'm taking Caltrain from Mountain View to SFO at 05:30. That should put me in just the right mood for a six-hour flight with Untied. What fun.

I had a great time at meetBSD and the devsummit again. A very productive time too. As usual, I was very good to see everyone in meatspace again, and add some new face-to-name mappings along the way. Next time, Tokyo I think.

I know you cleverly nickname most of the airlines and airports, but untied ? ;-)

Untied is just so much more correct than "United".

...and "meatspace"?  Best not go there.

Speaking of meatspace, when are you due back? I'm somewhat hungry, truth be told :P

Bram: I get back on Monday.  I'll probably be grumpy and unpleasant the first couple of days back.  More so than usual, I mean.
