Sleep is an evil, evil thing. It deprives me of the ability to work around the clock and forces me to consider that I can’t do everything I want to in the space of a day (especially with the amount of time I otherwise seem to end up wasting on crap). I need to find some of that medication they’ve been trying on Air Force pilots to enable them to run sleep-free for extended periods without any apparent (yet) side effects.
So I got one column in (quite late, annoying) and am finishing another on kernel performance tuning at the moment. I decided to write about things like OProfile and how I’ve used this to benchmark things like RT performance or just for general system profiling. I’ll probably end up with a brief look at lock-free algorithms, since that came up at FOSDEM on the weekend too. Luckily, I’ve reduced my writing commitments from next month down from around 12-14 pages plus book chapters, to a more manageable 6-8 pages of articles in a month.
I bought jonmasters.net last night and jonmasters.co.uk and jonmasters.me.uk this morning. Maybe I’ll try one of those “here’s the main site, he’s the play site” approaches and stick up stuff that I’d otherwise just not care about on one of those. I dunno. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately for my attempt at global namespace pollution, someone else has myname.com (seems like a nice enough guy too) so I’m not likely to grab that one – but I did wait 2 or 3 years for the .co.uk variant to expire, so you never know.
Jon.
