Six Months
Work went smoothly today. I biked there for the third time this week. This was my goal to maintain throughout the entire summer, so now I just have to do that every week. I stopped by the side of Timm Road to take a photo of the grass swaying in the wind.

I've spent most of the evening debugging the HAL daemon. That problem with the Atheros card causing crashes still exists. I know where it happens, but I can't yet explain why. It's easy to avoid (one line can be commented), but the goal is to fix the problem.

Today marks six months since I started writing to this thing. Although it's not fed to anyone anywhere, this log still feels useful.

OLS, Goshdarnit.
So, today I finally had all the information needed to register for the Ottawa Linux Symposium; information such as my ability to take time off work to attend (this is always harder for students). However, upon logging into the registration site, I was informed that registration closed three days ago. I eMailed Andrew Hutton about being put on the waiting list, but I'm sure my chances are pretty low. I was really counting on making it in. I did manage to make it into the Desktop Developers' Conference taking place during the two days preceding OLS.
