I guess it's time for one of those "In a nutshell" posts.

Buffy Boy's loss affected me way more than I could have expected. After all, we were never formally introduced, but it was always nice to see Buffy Boy's new pics and learn about his latest adventures. My guess is that it reminded me of Iris and how we had to put her to sleep too and was it the most painful moment in my life. It took me a solid 4 months before I could even consider owning a cat again, but I have to say I'm very glad I did and have been very happy with Athene since then. And I suspect certain furball that goes by the name of a famous musketeer will enjoy a very happy life from now on.

BSDCan is now over, and some very interesting stuff came out of it, including yet another flame between FreeBSD developer Poul-Henning Kamp and the OpenBSD guys. The questions: Who leaked the post? (It was sent to a closed mailing list, my guess is that it was Hsu, but you never know) and, more important: Why the heck is this behaviour tolerated? This has been going on for years now and, according to Greg Lehey: "phk is not speaking for freebsd". Well, good to know. That doesn't explain why he (and 2 or 3 other people) are allowed to do that.

I've been doing some work on my audio editor. I have some pretty good ideas that I want to test before moving into the interface code. Oh, and I've been listening almost non-stop to Metallica's Live Shit Binge and Purge live set. Awesome stuff. Which reminds me, I have to give my acoustic guitar another chance. It's been years since I last played it.

This week is pretty interesting because on the 19th two big events will take place: Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith opens world wide and OpenBSD 3.7 is officially out. I personally can't wait :)
