Last weekends LinuxForum was really good – I especially enjoyed the PHK talk about varnish<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But also Brian Vinter’s talk about the Cell CPU was awesome. The idea that current CPU designs only use 5% of their power to do actual computing, while the rest is spend on branch prediction and caching strategies… amazing.<\/p>\n

On Saturday I manned the gentoo ‘booth’ – we definitively need be better prepared next time! I guess people could hardly recognize what we where representing. As a consequence we were asked a lot if IBM notebooks where any good – as the booth sported somewhere between two to five of those at any one time. <\/p>\n

We also had a nice chat with an ubuntu guy – among others we dispelled the old myth of compiling from source, because the programs then will run faster. I guess there are still a lot of people out there spreading this BS. g2boojum<\/a> fits it rather nicely into: <\/p>\n

We’re less rules-bound, we tend to favor pragmatism over ideological purity, and we favor flexibility and power over stability.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was really cool to get to know dercorny and eroyf and jaervosz – i really need to meet more dev’s more often. (Sorry Alexander for not being there on wednesday!)<\/p>\n

On the otherhand have i gotten hold of a personal dev overlay. genstef outfitted me with the bangert overlay<\/a>. Thanks a lot.<\/p>\n

I have started working on an ebuild for red5<\/a> – as I have not done java ebuilds before, that is a bit a challange. I am using the jetty ebuild as a template. Check it out.<\/p>\n

Hhm, guess I am starting to get a kick out of this blogging stuff – never expected this to be this long.<\/p>\n

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
