- The recent 2.4.23-pre6 kernel [story] included Jens Axboe's "laptop mode" patch [story]. This patch can increase battery lifetime on laptops by intelligently batching reads and writes to and from disk. This prolongs battery life by minimizing how often a laptop's drive has to spin up. |

- The NetBSD project has a new core team, welcoming Allen Briggs, Frank van der Linden, Luke Mewburn, Matt Thomas and Christos Zoulas. Alistair Crooks explains on behalf of the Board of Directors: "Four years ago, the present core team was set up to be the technical management of the project. This was always intended as a temporary measure, and we'd like to thank the members of the core team who have spent a lot of time and effort looking after the direction of the NetBSD project, and steering it to where it is today. In particular, we'd like to thank Itojun for his enthusiasm and energy - the commit logs show that he is currently one of the most active developers that the NetBSD project has. |

- I'm in the process of updating the KernelTrap theme. So far the biggest difference is that the actual layout/presentation is now fully handled by CSS [blog]. Beyond that, I'm hoping to have time tomorrow to update the overall structure (explained below). Please let me know if the new theme is intolerable on your browser. I've only tested with a couple of Linux browsers, and it seems fine there. |

- Greg Lehey has imported initial support for Vinum, a block device driver which implements virtual disk drives, into NetBSD-current. Patches have existed for a while, but now vinum support is officially part of NetBSD. For more details on Vinum, please refer to the Vinum webapge and/or this article by Greg. |

- Après ces brèves confessions je vais revenir à mon boulot initial : reporter de la classe S zéro. Comme vous le savez, la photo à Berthelot est dans pas très longtemps. Bien sur, pour que ce soit plus sympa il faut choisir un thème. Seulement difficile de motiver une classe qu'en pas un n'est d'accord avec l'autre. |

- Lu sur Cybersolidaires : "Récipiendaire du Zénith du meilleur documentaire au Festival des films du Monde 2003 (FFM) où il a fait salle comble à trois reprises, Sexe de rue est le dernier long métrage du documentariste Richard Boutet, décédé le 29 août, quelques jours avant la première de son film. Que ce soit à travers Suzanne et Lucie, danseuses (1973), La maladie c'est les compagnies (1979), L'amiante ça tue (1979), La Turlute des années dures (1983), La guerre oubliée (1988), Le Spasme de vivre (1991), Mortel désir (1992), Le Chemin brut de Lisette et Romain (1995) ou Les Survivants de l'Apocalypse (1998), l'oeuvre du cinéaste est une ode à l'instinct de survie et un questionnement sur l'origine des maux qui nous affligent. |

- One thing that I've appreciated about Bob Martin's writing is that he is able to get around the type surrounding a topic and dig out the essence. He did this so well by pointing out the dependency inversion properties of objects. He's got a new post about Agile methods, so we'll see if his insight proves out to be true this time as well... |

- Argh - just logged in to the server to find that the pycs.net process has used 1338 minutes (just over 22 hours) of CPU time since Friday, and that it was currently sucking 97% CPU. Ouch. Sorry to all the other users of the JohnCompanies FreeBSD box it's been abusing. It looks like something is causing MetaKit (the database) to spin while trying to access something. |
