bug killed!

Ok ok, life sux, blablablabla and all that, it's hard blabla,
i feel quite better these days, i spend my time hacking around,
understanding new things, reading books, still far too much time
spent at work.

I'm already not enjoying it anymore, work to be done is bullshit,
like the fucking stress test tool, took me like 2 or 3 hours to make it,
find that challenging ?.. i was awaiting kernel modules work and kernel hacking
since i want to masterize those an be able to change everything in the kernel
for hacking purposes...or for fun

The art of unix programming is really an amazing book, teaching to deep
experienced tradition of unix developpement, pragmatic and self describing,
I've learned a lot and it motivates me, i cant explain why, but those guys were
just so smart in the way they did things, technical excellence and elegance,
and all that for FUN, that FUN word is an big huge marketing/flamby/commercial
unknown weapon.

i've fixed some bug in the valgrind netbsd porting project, was not easy to spot though,
but i did, I haven't found the fix (obfuscated code) but hsaliak did :)

check it out :
http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/vg4nbsd/?rev=109&sc=1

I've also started that radiotap implementation on an(4) for netbsd, i think i love this OS,
many things but they follow all the rules (transparency, discoverability etc..

I don't have everything i want but at least knowledge is free of charge, and doesn't require an
external company :)
