Hi Emily,
Thanks for your most recent article, The Real World Threw Up All Over Us. It was a sobering and thought-provoking read about how some of my peers are handling these interesting times. Wikipedia tells me that my birth year of 1978 indeed qualifies me as part of the Gen-Y cohort, but I’m not 100% [...]

If you’re reading this blog through an rss reader, apologies for a temporarily screwed up feed.
I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.1, and a rogue plugin was causing me some headaches. Nothing my little 2×4 of hatred couldn’t fix.

During development of my PCI core learns hotplug patch series, Vegard Nossum decided he wanted to subject them to kmemcheck, which is a really cool tool he’s been working on.

I’m pleased to announce that in the event I were ever to go join a startup, I can still push out heroic 90+ hour work weeks, kinda like last week. Between fighting fires at work in my day job and frantically trying to put the final spit and polish on my PCI core hotplug series [...]
