Yeah this blog has been quiet, sorry I've been busy packing and merging as many patches as I could into the net-2.6.20 tree. Hey I even got a chance to implement full lockdep support for sparc64 the other day.

Life right now is a flurry of box packing, throwing out lots of useless stuff that just piles up when you live somewhere, and getting myself mentally prepared for the long drive up to Seattle from San Francisco (it's about 812 miles, door to door, and I've done it in about 13 hours on one occaision, google maps gives an estimate of 14 hours 29 minutes).

I'm packing the core systems I use to do work into my SUV so I can just hook them up when I get to the new place. I can already "ping" my new house, as the router in my cable modem is responding just fine so the install must have gone well :-) So SunBlade1500 (workstation), Dell Poweredge (firewall and web browsing), and my two Niagara (T1000 and T2000) boxes will keep us company for the ride.

Usually when I do this drive about mid-way through Oregon the pain starts to set in, but then right before Portland I get this second wind which takes me through to the end. It's about 3 hours from Portland to Seattle.

The movers come tomorrow for the rest of our stuff, and once they're gone we do a quick cleanup, loadup the SUV and hit the road. It should be a busy weekend.

Thanks to everyone who has emailed me wishing me good luck with the move, it is much appreciated!

And btw, no jokes about Microsoft, just don't, everyone thinks to do it and it's absolutely not original, therefore it gets real old, real fast. If you want to say something interesting and witty, ask me if I'll now have webbed feet (Seattle is known for it's rain, and ducks have webbed feet). :-)
