It seems I’ve never got enough time these days.
I’m a FreeBSD ports committer, but recently I’ve hardly done anything. All I’ve managed to do is keep my own ports updated. It’s quite frustrating because I want to be more involved. Then there’s the other projects like libstatgrab, they don’t even get a look in.
I blame the “day job”; if it’s not using my actual time it’s occuping my mind…

Where is the [...]...
- A new libstatgrab release We’ve finally done another libstatgrab release. It’s been the best part of 8 months since the last release. Given the length of time you might be mistaken for thinking we’ve made lots of changes, but we haven’t. All this release really includes is some mostly untested Windows support, and handful of bugfixes. I guess the problem is that [...]...
- A new server and a new RAID setup So my current hosted server is getting a bit old. It’s not got enough RAM, and the disk in it is failing (yes, I did have RAID, more on that later). So it’s about time to get a replacement in. The guys over at Netrino have just installed a new machine for me. I say new, [...]...
