Better but not great. As I previously wrote about how much iwl3945 sucked. The .27 kernel seems like there has been many iwl improvements. When I say, “seems” – that is what I mean. I mean that it seems like there is improvements, and the changelogs show alot of iwl activity. So, my current experiences with iwl3945 still show some “troubles” with being on B networks. But this time, mixed networks work better and G networks work flawlessly.
Thanks to Paul, I now have a picture of me under my canopy…Cool! Jeremy coming in to land
Well, not really Linux related but I ran across a post today about Open Source Hardware. I guess it makes sense, and it pretty cool. Consider the Linksys WRT54G series, one of Linksys best sellers nowadays because some people discovered it was running embedded Linux. This isn’t quite the same as OSHardware, but close. Now consider having a profitable company that releases all specs to the microcontroller that they are mass producing, very neat idea.
A short list: Cheapest gas since 18 months ago, weee. I just paid $2.24 (A gallon of milk costs ~3.29) The housing market will still be in a slump when I am looking to buy a place next summer. Yay, real estate will be on sale. GREAT time to invest for a young, 22 year-old like me. I’m trying to pour money into the market now. The stock market will come back, it always [does][1].
Hey all, I just put preload into portage. I found this one by researching readahead stuff. Preload is an adaptive readahead daemon. This is a cool little app that I have been running all day now. The short story is that it scans /proc every 20 seconds and will maintain its own “database” of files to keep loaded in memory. The long story is: The author’s whitepaper on preload. And more details can be found [here][2].
