mmm… espresso

I’ve finally been able to get out to some coffee shops out here. Yesterday was Cloud City. Tasty espresso, nice low-latency internet connection. I don’t particularly care about bandwidth, so I have no idea how that was. Cloud City is in the Maple Leaf district, which was a pretty easy ride from Mickey/Annie/Styles’ place.

Today, I’m at Herkimer Coffee. Getting there was hard on a bike, as I had to cross I-5, which was a bit sketch. Was it worth it? 1/2, maybe. The espresso is absolutely delicious, but the connection is noticeably laggy:

Oh well.

This week has been great for productivity. I’ve got a long patch series in the works that aims to expose disabled CPUs to userspace, and actually gives us a sane way to poke at them without crashing your box. I’ve noticed that the ACPI processor driver is somewhat of a mess, and I’m adding its cleanup to my TODO list. It would be great to unify MADT parsing, for example. But that’s off in the future.
