Oh lament lament lament. I am still coming to terms with a review process that thinks wobbly bits are more offensive than people being brutally murdered. I think that this is a basic difference between Europeans and Americans that I will never understand.
I am working on a project that needs to receive over the air DVB data (FreeView, Sky etc), and interpret the stream, to find a channel and record it to disk.
VMware are giving away their ESXi hypervisor, which in essence is a software layer that you install directly to a box, allowing you to install many operating systems.
This is about Ununtu, but first an admission. I run Vista, ok I admit it. It’s slick and smooth, but it doesn’t tolerate badly written software and/or drivers. My install was stable for a while, but slowly went down hill.. After a fresh install all is ok and slick again :-).
I have re-released PASM (Portable ASeMbler). It’s an architecture neutral API for runtime code generation that is usefull for applications that require JIT. It’s 10 years old this August, so perhaps I’ll arange some sort of birthday. I don’t have much time to play with it these days, unless somebody wants to pay me.
I have had a fascination with the game of life by Conway for many years, too many to mention. I wrote a life client on an A5000 and optimized the hell out of it on that beautiful ARM processor. That little 20 mhz ARM out performed a 66 mhz 486 dx2 in this discipline.
