Climbing evening.


That was quite easy training - I ran several old traverses and couple of bouldering, also created one traverse, which previously contained green holds, but most of them were removed or replaced with time, so it was a new trace, that's all - nothing special this day.
The most pleasant part was sauna and shower which definitely were required by development related dirtiness.
Now I feel mysef just bloody excellent.

New features scheduled (implemented) for the next kevent release.


Most of them are implemented in the local tree, I'm just waiting for ack from Ulrich Drepper:

• new command, which allows to mark any events as ready. It is also possible to just wake up listener of the given kevent queue if number of events requested to be marked as ready is zero. It allows glibc to notify other event processing threads, which are parked in the waiting syscalls like kevent_wait() or kevent_get_events(), that they can process new events in cae of originally awakened thread was terminated.
• fixed unsufficient parameters check in kevent pipe notifications (spotted by Eric Dumazet).
• return -ENOSYS if there is no registered event type instead of -EINVAL.
• add 'flags' parameters to kevent_init() syscall (not implemented yet).

• just implement all horrible workarounds and ugliness I'm asked about, which I think will allow quite fast kevent integration into mainline.
• continuously perform seems to be endless negotiations with mutual insults in linux-kernel@. This will not force kevent inclusion, and likely will not end up with it at all, but there is probability (I think it is somewhere between zero and void), that I can convince people that I am right. Practice shows that it is hardly to convince people, which do not hear what you talk to them, no matter correct it is or not.
• say that 'I do not care and will not even discuss all requested utterly damaged ideas' or something like that and stop discussion. It can or can not help with kevent integration, but in any case I at least will have enough time for more interesting tasks than empty talks in linux-kernel@. For example netchannels wildcard support and fast NAT implementation, zero-copy support for netchannels, asynchronous IO, threading library, log-structured filesystem

First part (about one fourth) of the hinged ceiling is completed.


Something like that.
I screwed it yesterday evening, and can say that although making hinged ceiling alone is not that simple task, it is quite doable.
Next task is to perform second layer, it will be lower and take more square, but it is task for another Sunday.



Will create better photos when it is ready.
