As Project U-14 draws to a close, I've been spending a wonderful couple of hours on the couch playing with my laptop while Arlo naps.

Here's what I've been doing:

• Tracked down a bug that in gpsbabel that would make it crash if you gave it no filename to process. Turned out it was fixed late last year, and the new version will be in Lenny, but that was okay; the practice was good, it didn't take too long, and it turns out both the developers and I came to the same conclusion. I hope they know what they're doing, at least. :-) I'm unsure if I should file a bug in Debian or not; Lenny's coming soon, and I'm not sure of the usual practice in this case.

• Actually began work on Project U-13; I'm trying out fai-cd, rather than GRML. GRML's nice, but it's a way non-stock Debian install by the time it's done, and I'd like to stick as much as possible to stock Debian (OS of the OElder Goeds). We'll see how it goes.

• Read about how Dan Fucking Kaminsky managed to Rickrolled Facebook thanks to nasty DNS hijacking (similar to Verisign's Site Finder) by Earthlink and Comcast. No copy of the presentation up on his site, from what I can see, but I'm looking forward to it.

• Eating chocolate chip cookies my wife made. Yum.
