skydiving

500 skydives!!!

September 22, 2008 – 9:56 pm

Woa woa. I just did my 500th skydive on Saturday the 20th. 9/20/08. All I have to say is “w00t”!

This particular skydive was very fun. Lynn, Jamie & Marty were on my 500th. It also happened to be Jamie’s 800th. Very good timing =) Basically a screw off dive, built a round then we all dropped a knee and spun until we couldn’t hold on to eachother. We were then flung around the sky and we sorta rebuilt before breakoff. Me and Marty did some proximity flying under canopy and were about 4 feet away from a 2stack dock. God I love this shit…

Gentoo: Improve boot time…

September 22, 2008 – 9:36 pm

Switch to baselayout-2 and openrc..the speed up is noticeable. Especially if you enable rc_parallel="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Anyway, others have wrote about it already, including a bootchartd of before and after here.

Anyway, this should be hitting stable soonish and when it does be sure to read the migration guide because some things have indeed changed.

For me, I count to 10 slowly and my laptop is at the xdm prompt…very cool and good job Roy!
