Head buried in the bits
I haven’t been updating this page lately as I have been consumed with work oriented thoughts. It is mostly unpleasant work, and quite frustrating too. I recently learned that there is a chance that all the pain I have gone through over the last few weeks might turn out to be “throw away”, which makes me want to scream. Such is life.
We had a good 4th of July at Lisa’s parents in Eugene. Exciting eh?

Are you still working on the Linux device drivers?

You know it. I’m developing a device driver for an obscure piece of hardware. I have to do all my debugging via printk’s though a buffered serial port. Makes finding crashes nearly impossible. At least my assert’s cause a kernel panic, which I can see.

Ugh. I have to do that kind of junk sometimes too on the PDAs. Particularly crashes that only seem to happen on the physical hardware. Not a fun time. You’ll have to tell me more about it when it’s not a “top secret” project anymore. =)
