Progression personally

Last week Denise and I had been shopping at Ikea’s where we bought some new things for our upcoming house, yes OUR house :-) , and we did an inventory of potential victim’s eh furniture for our house. We had a great time looking around and talking to eachother over what we liked and disliked for the house. I think we have around the same ideas wrt. how to build up the house. That said, we have at least one good candidate house so far, and we are going to inspect another house this week if possible. We envy one of the houses we saw (i wont tell which one :-) ) so that is a potential (did i say good potential) candidate for our future house.

We also share more and more time together, with Luca and with the two of us, so we are really really progressing forward. Perhaps not as fast as people would have hoped, but hey, we do not overrush things now so that we can do it right.

We had visited Jeugdland yesterday btw, and that was great, Luca had a great time and we walked around and did things with him that he really really enjoyed. Good idea Denise!

Personally my progression is also going well, I am learning a lot at my current assignment, doing much Juniper/Cisco work and some uSyscom (UMTS) and other related machines as well as Windows management (yes I am an Unix Specialist but hey, I understand this as well, which is not that bad, but I still envy the various *nix distributions, it’s so much easier in a networking environment).

I also received my first Juniper certification and I am planning the second one already, including my CISSP and other things (which I will do at a little lower pace because those projects are somewhat bigger to obtain, more theory and more to learn). It remains great that Snow supports me this well!

A long time discussions and development had been done on USB. Hans Peter Selasky (hps) had rewritten the entire USB stack and it seems to be moving forward enough so that Alfred Perlstein is willing to commit this into the FreeBSD tree.

Ofcourse things do not go without resistance, there are always (and will always be) people that are sceptic, against it, afraid of it etc. Not only developers, but consumers and people using this commercially as well. Nothing new there, nothing wrong there either.

So, with a bit of luck the new code will be in so that it can mature for the 8.0 release of FreeBSD.

Did you all know that there had been a lot of development for 8.0 btw? MPsafeTTY, USB, Dtrace, new ZFS drop, we migrated from CVS to SVN, we are working on LLVM (Contribute people!), even beter ULE support, Superpages got improved by alc@, NFS Locking and GSSAPI crypto, perhaps NFSv4, VImage (Marco Zec’s virtualized networking stack), and many many more new features that are not in the current -RELEASE tree’s, and will probably never be in these tree’s (it will be in future branches ofcourse). Ofcourse the above is no promise it will actually be in there, but as it currently looks like: chances are they will be there ;-)
