Fantagio Spa doesn't feel like a spa as much as it exudes the air of a Middle Eastern palace. Potted palms and other tropical plants gently sway with each robed guest that shuffles by, as sand-colored brick and pyramid-shaped awnings remind them of an Egyptian pharaoh's quarters. In this palatial space, guests bask in soothing facials and mani-pedis, while treating their statures to tranquil massages and body wraps. Chocolate mud treatments awaken the body's senses and uncontrollable urge to nibble on its own arm with antioxidant-packed dark cocoa. Spa packages, meanwhile, combine facials, massages, and mani-pedis for up to four hours of blissful pampering.
Nestled among towering trees in a stone-flanked cottage, Cosmetic Skin Care Specialists of Cherry Hill highlights clients' inner beauty within a serene, homelike environment. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Lyle M. Back calls on more than 20 years of experience as he polishes silhouettes with focused surgical procedures and in-office cosmetic services. Meanwhile, his veteran staff enhances appearances with a slew of nonsurgical treatments?including facials, microneedling, and waxing?that return bodies to the ravishing, youthful state they flaunted when first hatching from their eggs.
The techs at all Victoria's Nails and Spa locations have one thing in common: they pride themselves on running clean shops where clients can come to get their paws pampered. Techs do their best work at the foot of comfortable pedicure chairs, where they apply polish to toes to make them more attractive and less likely to be mistaken for weird bugs and stepped on.
Quarterbacked by Dr. Evan Sorokin and a team of gifted aestheticians, Delaware Valley Plastic Surgery leads worn-out bodies to greatness with a playbook of surgical enhancements and noninvasive skincare services. Buff away blemishes and seemingly unmovable sandwich crumbs with the 75-minute face-restoration package that includes a 50-minute purifying facial, which uses a Clarisonic cleaning brush and manual exfoliation to excommunicate pore gunk before soothing skin with a medical-grade mask (a $90 value). Or Sahara-like faces can choose to cleanse themselves with the nourishing facial that refreshes with light exfoliation, vitamin C, and a skin-firming boost (a $90 value). Place newly supple skin in a pleasing frame with the brow and lash tint (a $49 value), and dethrone unwanted hair with a Nufree wax treatment on two areas of the face, such as the lip, chin, or handlebar nose hairs (a $47 value). Jealous brains get some attention with the customized skincare lesson and take-home sample products designed for oily, dry, and combination skin types (a $30 value).
Individualized attention is the name of the game at Ageless Skin Solutions. Massage therapists take the time to consult with clients, and aestheticians thoroughly analyze the skin with assistance from the sun-damage-detecting Visia machine. Staffers then carefully select the appropriate massage lotions or skin products and thoroughly explain each service in detail. The team uses only noncomedogenic ingredients and pure pressed oils discovered during years of researching product lines and conversations with houseplants. Skincare experts personalize treatments to focus on specific concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, and employ innovative anti-aging processes including microcurrent technology and LED phototherapy. Exfoliating enzymes and diamond-based microdermabrasion sessions banish dead cells and include a complimentary massage of the face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté.
After aromatherapy-filled full-body massages, staff members direct rejuvenated guests toward the relaxation room for hot green tea or fruit-infused water and a light snack. The boutique-style reception area greets guests with elegant chandeliers, and treatment rooms cosset eyes with soft candlelight ideal for crafting a shadow-puppet version of The English Patient.
As a physical therapist with his own private practice, Hand & Stone founder and chief operating officer John Marco made sure that he kept abreast of the rapidly growing health and wellness industry. After a period of careful research and planning, John decided to create a spa based around convenience and affordability—Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa.
Since its launch, Hand & Stone has expanded to more than 20 states and four planets. The spa's core concept is to offer massage, facial, and hair-removal services performed by licensed, certified, or registered professionals and offered at convenient times, seven days a week. Each location adheres to a traditional spa aesthetic with soft lighting, heated treatment tables, and plush linens.

A note of caution, but hiring to continue.
The broadest indicator, the CEO Confidence Index, eased slightly last month, from 172.8 to 169.5 (see chart, far left), and most of its components, such as Future Confidence and Current Confidence, also deelined. (For full results, go to www.chiefexecutive.net.)
But the surprise was that the only clearly positive indicator was Employment Confidence, which increased by 5 points, to 181.1. Nearly 1 million jobs have been added to the U.S. economy in recent months, and the most recent confidence numbers suggest that hiring will continue.
That's particularly significant in view of the concerns that CEOs show about some macroeconomic trends. When asked which would have the greatest impact on their business, some 42 percent of our 349 respondents said energy prices, versus 34 percent who cited interest rates. The remainder said they didn't expect either of those two factors to have an impact on their businesses (see chart, second from left).
"Clearly, the cost of energy has the potential to stop the growth and expansion of the economy," wrote Kenneth C. Beam, president and CEO of the Pegasus Logistics Group in Grapevine, Tex. "There is a point at which businesses and consumers will reduce spending to cover these 'necessary' inflated costs."
Many readers noted that interest rates already are low in the U.S. compared with some other countries, and they consider a move by the Federal Reserve to be necessary. "The Federal Reserve Board has no choice," wrote Robert A. Kegel, president of Kegel Engineering Associates in Scottsdale. Ariz. Like many prognosticators, he foresees a modest increase before the November election, followed by more hikes afterward. "It becomes essential that there be increases to attract additional foreign investment to the U.S. economy," he argues.
Few CEOs see either oil prices or interest rates as being serious threats to the overall economy. "We will all cry a little, but we'll be strong in the long run," wrote J.B. Lang of Advantech International in Somerset, N.J.
Elsewhere, two interesting trends have emerged in our supplemental data. The confidence of CEOs who manage companies of $250 million or more in sales is decidedly higher than that of CEOs of smaller concerns (see chart, second from right). As recently as the beginning of 2004, the small companies were more optimistic. Now it has reversed. Size and scale are arguably more important in today's globalized environment.
Second, the confidence of CEOs of privately held companies, after lagging behind that of their counterparts at publicly traded companies, has essentially caught up (see chart, far right). Could it be that not having to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act makes private CEOs feel better about their businesses?
Emerging Concerns Which has the potential for having the greatest impact on your business? Neither 23.8% Increased interest rates 34.1% Energy Prices 42.1% 1 to 2 % over the next year based on crude oil to be sold at $40 a barrel Note: Table made from pie chart.

Shutter Therapy in Hoi An, Vietnam with OM-D E-M1
I spent the past few days in the picturesque coastal town of Hoi An, Vietnam. Finally, I managed to get some time away from work and just click the shutter button away, while doing that in a quaint, small and peaceful town. I have not had much chance to travel around and I really should have made more effort to explore South East Asia more, there are so many beautiful places, rich in culture and various tradition, all screaming photography opportunities to be discovered.
I brought along Olympus OM-D E-M1 as the primary camera, an E-M5 as a back-up in case something happens to the E-M1, and four M.Zuiko lenses: 9-18mm F4-5.6, 45mm F1.8, 75mm F1.8 and 40-150mm F2.8 Pro. When I was walking around doing my shutter therapy, I did not bring everything with me of course, usually only one camera (E-M1) and about three lenses (40-150mm Pro stays behind, unless the extra long each was needed). E-M1 and the three lenses weigh less than 1.5kg, all fitted into a small shoulder sling camera bag, easy to carry around without feeling any strain on my shoulder or neck. In comparison to my older days with DSLR E-5 and the Four Thirds lenses, this new combination of E-M1 and smaller lenses made such a stark, huge difference in terms of portability and convenience. And with the 40-150mm F2.8 pro lens, the total weight comes to about 2kg only!
Beautiful Hoi An, near sunset
Friendly Hoi An farmer
The shops and buildings are old, but with beautiful, traditional design, staying in tact.

About High ISO Shooting with Olympus
I have noticed several comments, here on my blog as well on forum discussions, mentioning how it was almost impossible (ok, impossible is a very strong word, or simply put as "unlikely") the shots I took with Olympus cameras (E-M5, E-M1, E-M10) exhibiting so little noise, looking so clean when I was shooting at high ISO settings (ISO3200-6400).
Before we step any further in this subject, I would like to clarify a few items. I never mentioned that you do not see noise in Olympus high ISO shots, and surely I also did not mention that the shots were "clean" and "noise-free". I always, always have been careful when it comes to touchy subjects like high ISO shooting, and I always mentioned my high ISO shots were "good enough" and noise was handled, or controlled well. Noise is present in image even at lower ISO settings, it is either the noise was smoothened out by in camera processing or too negligible to be detected with normal computer screen views. How tolerable the amount of visible noise in high ISO varies from person to person. I was perfectly fine with E-M1's ISO6400 ouput, but showing the exact same image to a friend, he cringed even at the sight of some luminance noise (which I was perfectly fine with since it did not add any destructive effect to the image, instead adding "structure" which looked nice, in my own opinion).
I do have to reiterate that Olympus cameras CAN shoot very good images, and I shall put a stop at ISO6400 here. Yes we can go higher and still get away with usable images, but we all know there are other "higher end" cameras that can do better. The problem here is, many people thought that I somehow miraculously managed to shoot "supposedly" clean ISO3200 and ISO6400 images.

Burger in Flash
I know there are many die-hard believers of available light photography, who would rather throw their cameras down 20 storeys high building than choose to use flash in their photography.
I am a strong believer in available light. If you have seen even just 2% of what I have posted on my blog, you would see that more than 90% of what I shoot (street photography mainly) were done without aid of additional artifical lighting. However, I do not deny the advantages of enhancing an image using flash photography. I certainly acknowledge that careful and strategic use of flash can open up a whole new world of possibilities.
It all comes down to the ability of the photographer to understand the light, and apply it in his photography. Light is not perfect all the time. While most of the time utilizing available light may be the best solution, there are times the available light was simply terrible, or insufficient. Recognising that the light condition is poor, we have a few choices to make: 1) forget about shooting, lighting is everything, thus poor lighting = poor photographs 2) shoot anyway, and screw lighting. available light is king (you must be delirious) and 3) find ways to counter the poor lighting, for example, using flash!
I have encountered this situation while having dinner last night. I was served with a plate of beautiful burger, begging to be photographed (I know, I know, the internet is overflooded with food photographs, but do forgive me this one time to demonstrate my point in flash photography). I tried shooting without flash, and I did not get the shot that I wanted. No, the camera was perfect capable in shooting low light conditions, images came out clean despite high ISO setting, and I had an F1.8 lens so it was not an issue under low light. The problem is the light was poor, being flat, and uninteresting, with poor color cast. The initial image came out dull and honestly, not appetizing to look at.

Score from 380 reviews Good
Friendly staff
Location, could walk to many places of interest.and close to the Metro. Good ambience in the Latin Quarter, wide choice of reasonably priced restaurants that are an easy walk to in the evening
no tea/coffee facilities in room. Fixed shower head and it needed the limescale removed. Ensuite had no hooks to hang clothes on
The hotel is really charming and cosy. The location could not be better! There's a train station for the RER B Charles de Gaule three minutes walking from the hotel and also a metro station within the same distance, nevertheless it's possible to reach most of the tourist attractions by feet :). I would stay there again for sure.
Although the room was very nice, it's possible to hear every single noise that comes from the hallway and the other rooms, and it can be specially annoying when the cleaning lady turns on the hoover :(.
Great Location Great Restaurant Attached 2 minute walk from St Micheal Metro Comfy Beds
Wifi but not great No kettle in room - no big deal really. Bathrooms could do with a better clean and updating
Everything nice, we really recomend the Europe Saint Severin Hotel
Without a place to put the soap and shampoo in the shower
Located close to cafés, bars and shops. Easy walk to many attractions. Staff helpful.
For the price it was hard to complain, but the room was small.
Lovely to find a hotel with modern comfort and facilities (speaking as a tourist and not business traveller) without having had the old character ripped out of the building. As expected, our room on the 2nd floor was not large, but had a charming balcony with tiny table and chairs overlooking the cobbled side street and some of the many local restaurants. Well sound-insulated window, and we weren't aware of other guests during the night. VERY helpful and naturally friendly staff - all spoke English.Well located in the Latin Quarter near 'St Michel' on Metro line 4, linking many tourist attractions, as well as being near the Seine, Notre Dame & Musee d'Orsay. 30 mins direct on RER from CDG airport - minimal walking.
Can't think of anything at all!
Fantastic location just near the RER to airport, and Metro. Friendly staff. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. Easy to walk to lots of sights. Breakfast was very nice. Great beds and very hot shower in clean and modern bathroom. Overall found it very nice and comfortable for our 4 day visit.
Room was a bit stuffy (no air con late October but unusual warm weather) There was an occasional strange ammonia like smell from bathroom. Running taps cleared it. No coffee making facility.
Great central location Staff friendly and helpful Room clean and spacious for central paris
The location, the staff (everybody was so helpful and nice), the bathroom was modern, the breakfast was really good.
Cannot think of anything
The location was excelent, and the bed was confortable.
I was in a single room that had a machine just outside the window. The sound was not loud, but it took me a while to get to sleep.
Each of the front desk staff at the Europe San Severin went out of their way to help us as much as they were able with all of our questions and concerns. They provided a warm and welcoming first stop in our European vacation. Really nice people.
The wifi connection drove us crazy. It was consistently in and out. This was our first experience in Europe with my new smart phone and French sim card (no translation of any sim card messages from "Orange)," so the weak wifi made the situation even more frustrating. Also, the huge bath tube was tricky to climb into -- I'd ask for a shower if I returned.
Optional breakfast was good. Pierre at the front desk was very helpful.
Room could use better lighting.
Amazing location, tremendous staff, lovely atmosphere.
Superb location Helpful friendly staff Comfortable hotel
Noisy bin collections in street at 6.30am
Desk personal were a huge help. Airline had lost our luggage and the desk personal kept us in touch with insurance, airline and travel agent. Help us find places in the city to buy clothes and places to eat. The hotel was close to everything, sight seeing and restaurants very convenient.
We loved the personal at the hotel, the hotel itself was great! We didn't have any dislikes
The location was terrific, with easy access to the subway. Te staff was ultra pleasant and helpful.
The only glitch was having to sign in again on the wifi if you leave it for a few minutes.
The location, ease of getting to and from the airport. We were two blocks from where our friend, JCh Millot was performing a classical piano concert. Fun to walk and mingle with the crowds. Good food everywhere. We spent our first night in Paris before leaving for Normandy and contacted the hotel from there to reserve a room our last night. We would head here again without question on a next trip to Paris.
We actually liked it all -- our first night we laughed at the size of the bathroom -- one could REALLY sit and throw-up at the same time.
Excellent staff service, lovely room, clean and in great location.
Our room (614) was spacious and quiet with pleasant rooftop views. It is an attic room so be prepared to duck occasionally (I'm 6ft and wasn't bothered). No bath, only a shower, but roomy and who needs a bath when on holiday? Staff, particularly Emma, were very helpful and multi-lingual. A very short walk from St. Michel metro/RER station.
Breakfast. The coffee was awful. The breakfast itself was sparse, not very appealing and not worth the 12 euros asking price. Best to have a coffee and snack at one of the many nearby cafes.
Comfortable bed, modern bathrooms, excellent service from front desk and maid service
Typical small Parisian room size (not a complaint) Surrounding restaurants were tourist traps and unauthentic - had to walk a bit for better places to eat.
Amazing location very near the St. Michel-Notre Dame metro station, just across the bridge from Notre Dame and in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who spoke English, but were happy to tolerate me attempting to speak French! The lobby exudes a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and we loved the cat in the lobby! (She obviously runs the place!)
It's hard to find something we didn't like. The room was small - but no smaller than we expected. The street was noisy - but we loved falling asleep to the sound of the street musicians. The location (Latin Quarter) was very crowded - but that added to the excitement and energy of the area.
Central, clean, excellent staff
The hottest shower I've ever had in any hotel and the most comfortable bed by far in any hotel. Excellent location. Couldn't fault a thing.
The bathroom was small but to be expected of a hotel in Paris

Anyway. A cow‐orker told me that Belgium again/still has no gouvernment, and they have been asked to grow out their beards until they do. I found "evidence" on the 'net but won't link it here, also it's on German… anyway. Let's all join in. (Besides, I now have an excuse to not shave, maybe even my grandmother will accept this one…)
RT said on IRC that mksh will probably work on MSYS.
My Debian/m68k stuff is coming around nicely, but I still haven't gotten around to do everything planned, plus I need to grow a new kernel and eglibc, after the latest uploads, and the 2.6.37 based one panics. Also I've got to take care to not overwork myself. (And make a MirBSD ISO for FOSDEM.) But hey, it's been not working for some time and better now. And slow anyway ☺ yet we're progressing. Does anyone know how to debug that a C programme only calling res_init(3) segfaults?
Benny is apparently not just working on making NetBSD® pkgsrc® available on MirOS BSD (picking up my work from 4+ years ago) but also replacing The MirPorts Framework with it. Sad, as I got a request for a gajim MirPort over a cocktail just this evening…
pkgsrc Mini-Howto
27C3 brought significant advancements in pkgsrc support for MirOS BSD. I am in contact with a NetBSD developer, who is favourable to including the patch upstream in pkgsrc. For them, there are two parts for this: (a) the mere addition of a "MirBSD" stanza, which is unproblematic, and (b) other code changes, which need more review. Note that pkgsrc is currently frozen before the 2010Q4 release, so our patches will likely be deferred until after the freeze.
If you would like the current patches, which are still in a bit of a rough shape, here is how to use it:
- Make sure there are no mentions of MirPorts in your current environment. Most importantly, remove /usr/mpkg/bin and /usr/mpkg/sbin from your PATH. This is needed when building or installing packages; the reason is that the package tools from MirPorts and pkgsrc have the same name but are incompatible with each other.
- Check out pkgsrc, for example to /usr/pkgsrc:
cvs -qd firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot co -P pkgsrc
- To be sure that the patches will apply, downgrade the patched
cd pkgsrc
cvs -q up -Pd -D2010-12-27 bootstrap devel/{bmake,libtool*} lang/perl5 mk
- Apply pkgsrc-bootstrap.diff,
then pkgsrc-libtool-miros.diff:
cat pkgsrc-bootstrap.diff pkgsrc-libtool-miros.diff | patch -p0
- Check that there are no rejected patches:
find . -name "*.rej"
should give no results.
- Bootstrap pkgsrc. In this example, we install (using sudo) into
/usr/pkg. The dbdir should be inside the prefix to avoid conflicts
with MirPorts.
cd bootstrap
./bootstrap --prefix /usr/pkg --pkgdbdir /usr/pkg/db
- Add /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin to your path:
export PATH=/usr/pkg/bin:${PATH}:/usr/pkg/sbin
- I recommend to install perl first because it is needed by many
other packages and because it needs a workaround at the moment:
cd ../lang/perl5
bmake install && cd /usr/pkg/lib && ln perl5/5.12.0/*/CORE/libperl.so.* .
You can now use pkgsrc to build whatever you like. Please test this procedure and report whether it works for you.
pkgsrc on MirOS
Like we decided on FrOSCon this august, I restarted work on getting pkgsrc working again and then, on adding support for MirOS BSD to pkgsrc upstream. The thing is, while our MirPorts infrastructure is, in my opinion, outstanding, many of the ports themselves are highly out of date. Having pkgsrc would free us from the burden of maintaining thousands of ports ourselves. Many of the technical arguments that had originally been brought up against pkgsrc (such as missing support for "faking") have been addressed in the last few years.
As a first step, I applied Thorsten's old diff against the pkgsrc-2006Q4 stable branch, which was created shortly after the diff had been made. Next, I am porting these changes to a current pkgsrc branch in order to get them integrated. However, this will involve porting libtool 2 to MirOS, as newer pkgsrc versions only use this version. Wish me luck :).
I will be on 27C3 in Berlin from December 27 to 30, even though tg@ will not.
Sorry for accidentally spamming ~60 people/lists
When doing porter uploads, one must not forget to pass -m"My Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>" to dpkg-buildpackage, e.g. with --debbuildopts for cowbuilder. Thanks Aurélien and sorry to everyone who got the upload mails.
(How are the rules for sponsored uploads? I get conflicting info on these, and indeed, the one I sponsored never showed up on my QA DDPO page…)
Debian/m68k progress, MirBSD notes
I'm almost finished with "sort of re-bootstrapping" Debian/m68k (I can use etch-m68k as well as what was in unstable at the moment as dependencies, so it was not that much, still, 305 binary packages build from 84 source packages, most for unstable (very few for unreleased, with very responsive maintainers, thanks all, who will include the patches in their next uploads) is a bit… including rebuilds with newer versions, more patches, more testing or newer dependencies installed. I'll probably upload on Sunday evening, as I'll be off for 2-4 days at least from then (see below). Ingo tried to test on real hardware, but as Murphy wants a hard disc failed… we'll still try to get something done over the weekend. If you want to have a look, see my repository index (sources.txt contains a sample sources.list file, 0-NOTE.txt some hints, including the right debootstrap/cowbuilder magic and speed tricks). I'll need to learn how to use LVM and set up a buildd now…
I've not been in much of a hacking mood recently – all these visits to the dentist leave me in unrest and disturb my equilibrium. Hence, not much activity even in mksh even if there was need, almost none in MirBSD. This is only temporary, but I won't attend OpenRheinRuhr, or, if I come at all, it'll be for socialising only and probably only one day. Benny's done with his Doctor (in France, no idea whether it's one in Germany as well) of Chemistry and has returned to hacking some (World of) Google-Go(o) code. I expect MirBSD activity to slowly raise once we can come back. Please accept our apologies.
Debian/m68k re-bootstrapping
I'm currently working on something which will eventually amount to a re-bootstrapping of sorts of the Debian/m68k (Linux) port – patches to the Linux kernel, gcc, etc. are prepared (some have been accepted into upstream or the packages already). I will probably have more, once the compile processes finish, anyway (even emulated, it's slow).
I think that, once I get past that TLS (thread-local storage, needed by eglibc) migration, I will try to find out a list of packages needed for debootstrap (AFAICT: all packages marked Essential, or of priority important, and all marked Build-Essential (for the *-builder variant), and their dependencies (although I'll substitute sysv-rc with file-rc, which is better and needs less deps)) and pull arch:all from sid, then build the rest myself using a consistent snapshot of sid possibly with patches going to unreleased. Then I can use cowbuilder to make cleaner packages, which can eventually be uploaded (once I get enough to get a buildd running – kernel, bootloader, etc) – binNMUs are way to go here I suppose. I will only upload once it's self-hosted, installable (seen by edos-debcheck), clean, etc. (i.e. I'll rebuild all binaries) and probably keep a bootstrap repo around (until m68k caught up) so that unstable (possibly amended by unreleased for a while) will not again become uninstallable, e.g. if arch:all packages change their dependencies (Python, gcc-defaults are some I've seen). That bootstrap repository is needed anyway because debootstrap can't install from two separate repositories (unstable+unreleased for example).
Progress is slow because I try to keep as close to official packages as possible, refuse to cross-compile, and try to produce uploadable if possible packages all the time. Getting patches into packages, so that I can build from unstable, instead of debian-ports.org unreleased, has proven time-consuming and occasionally frustrating as well. Although I would like to thank the people who helped me on the way already. (I am not naming any in fear of forgetting some, but you know who you are ☺) They are among the Debian (gcc, kernel, m68k) and Linux-68k crowd.
(Why does genattrtab in gcc-4.4 take 3½ hours when it took less than half an hour in gcc-4.3 anyway?)
I'm also still working on mksh and some Python ISO hacks for mika and some minor stuff, and further cleaning up MirBSD.
Well, did I mention dentists are sadists?
Minor annoyances, BitTorrent trackers; construction work finished
openbittorrent.com has, apparently, bitten the dust as well. Oh the joy. DHT to the rescue, over the last few days, for those who could do it. I'm now running bttrack.py, yes the original, on eurynome and have (again) reannounced this project's torrents. Please download the *.torrent files again. And don't bother asking, I'm not running a public tracker. Clarification: The content is unchanged, only the torrent metafile has changed!
The updated CVS and new RNG code seem to behave well; I also fixed old bugs in the process. I will probably update our main server within some foreseeable future (this would be the ideal time to push out a snapshot again as well, even if it's "just" netinstall).
People have shown interest in my djbdns patches. Consider forking, even putting it into the base system. I need to solve the problem of the remaining non-v4-transport-capable v6-transport binaries though, I think only dnscachet6 is remaining, so we'll get only one set of binaries again. Also look for SRV RR patches. I wonder whether someone will code DNSSEC support…
The msdosfs LFN code is also still on my TODO, as are some other things. But hey, at least there's movement; even Benny, despite being offline, unreachable by phone, etc. commits Google-Goo code. (Hi!)
mksh currently is being reviewed by the Android Security team, who like it on a first look. I've already addresses the first concerns even. I might release R39d soonish, also because I'd like a stable release before going on to associative, and since it's easier to do than prohibit, multidimensional arrays – which have been welcomed in #ksh already…
You might want to update src/sys/net/netisr.h if running #10-stable, or upgrade to the latest kernel. I ran dieharder, and the results look good. The latest RNG subsystem pulls from many more sources and mixes better; I'll summarise it later probably.
Don't use HEAD right now, working on RNG and CVS
I'm currently working on two very important subsystems to MirBSD: the entropy subsystem arc4random(3), arandom(4), arc4random(9); the cvs(GNU) implementation. That's why it's extremely encouraged to not update to -rHEAD right now.
The entropy subsystem receives completely – except arc4random_uniform(3) – rewritten arcfour and arc4random* code (userspace already done) including quite a speedup, and a new structure of the kernel pools and how they interact (also for speedup, but better hashing as well).
Our GNU CVS implementation has received a number of patches from Debian's, and not only did I synchronise the port with base again, but also created I an (unofficial) "WTF" *.deb package from it, since Debian's has, as we discovered years ago, some broken (but hey, ISO compliant!) date format.
I'd suggest let me finish doing, unbreaking ;-) and testing it.
mksh, encodings, MirBSD, BitTorrent, WinCE
mksh was merged into Android (both AOSP and Google's internal master tree) in the night 24/25th August, and is expected to be the one shell to rule them all, for Gingerbread.
mksh(1) now also has a cat builtin, for here documents mostly. It calls the cat(1) command if it receives any options. The shell is nevertheless smaller than yesterday because of improved string pooling.
There's another reason to use the MirOS OPTU-16 encoding instead of PEP 383, on which I already wrote: try passing a wide-char filename to a function such as MessageBoxW, or create a filename on a system using wide chars, such as FAT's LFN or ISO 9660's Joliet, or one that only allows Unicode (canonically decomposed – ü → ü – out of all things) like HFS+. OPTU-8 at least maps to somewhat reserved codepoints (would, of course, be better to get an official 128 codepoint block, but the chance's small of getting that in the BMP). Still.
Oh well, the torrents. I've remade them all, using one DHT seed node and OpenBitTorrent as tracker and put them on a very rudimentary BT page that will be completely redone soonish. Please re-download them. I currently do not believe f.scarywater.net will return.
Finally, I fell victim to a selling-out and may have just bought a Windows Mobile 6 based phone (Glofiish X650) and an SDHC card and an extra battery with double capacity. Well, at least it's said to run CacheWolf well. I still would like to have something like Interix, Cygwin, UWIN, coLinux, or maybe some qemu-for-WinCE variant that runs Android, Maemo, Debian/armhf (or armel or arm) at near-native speed (and is usable – the device sadly doesn't have a hardware keyboard, but it comes with SiRFstar Ⅲ GPSr). It only has 64 MiB RAM, like the Zaurus SL-C3200 and the jesusPhone, though. ☹ Any chance to get MirWorldDomination onto that device as well?
Tomorrow, eight years ago, is the date we now use as birthing point for MirOS. The thing is, we did not really want to create a BSD of our own, fork, or whatnot. We were mostly happy OpenBSD users (really happy before the first eMail exchange with its developers, where Theo de Raadt did indeed stand out but was not the only one – just the one with the authority to deny us), improved it locally and submitted patches and ports. We were flamed for that or, worse, ignored. I begun putting up my "OpenBSD patchkit" on my homepage (back then, at Tripod) and still tried to feed things to upstream and OpenBSD. Then, at some point, Theo de Raadt made it clear he did not want me and the patch kit had grown (from one 4M file into several of them), so I ended up doing a "cvs -d /cvs init" and went from there. Benny's story is similar – he laughed at me while trying to get ports added to OpenBSD, then discovered his ports were added to the MirPorts Framework and getting commit access there was easier than getting some random developer to commit something of his to OpenBSD. (This trend ended there though… every single person I approached since has become OpenBSD ports committer – I wonder whether they used my invitation letter to blackmail Theo?) It's often thought that there was a clash of opinions between Theo and me. I think while we might disagree in certain aspects or priorities things should have, in the end we both wanted the same thing, I just was promised to never become a member of the OpenBSD project, so it's really just "them" being uncooperative. (They (Henning and others) did burn the T-Shirt I gave Theo as a gift some day for making OpenBSD what it was. I won't comment on that, again, now.)
FrOSCon 2010 and today's resumée
FrOSCon was a blast. I had two booths of my own – MirBSD and FreeWRT – as well as shares of Debian and Grml. Well, MirBSD was run by Benny and gecko2 because I just didn't have any time for it, despite XTaran's help with the FreeWRT booth. All I did was the initial setup of both booths, while at the same time answering about three questions regarding FreeWRT in parallel. Wow. What a little small, open hardware can do to you. XTaran and I had fun and we'll do FreeWRT booths again; I managed to flash my two FON2100 devices ("La Fonera" – the FON2200 can use the same image, says nbd of OpenWrt) and will fix the port's remaining few bugs I found; XTaran will try to push the WL-500gPv2 development. The social part was nice as well, although I think the greek restaurant in the city will not be visited by me again. Anyway, if you didn't attend FrOSCon, your own fault…
Since the BitTorrent tracker used by MirOS is down, here's the link to the [updated 2010-08-28] [deleted 2014-05013] current (FrOSCon 2010 Edition) snapshot's torrent, Triforce as usual. We'll probably rewrite torrent files for all our ISOs and publish them on the MirBSD website. I'm currently considering OpenBitTorrent plus one or two DHT seed nodes with no statistics. Maybe with webseed. (Need to update the libtorrent/rtorrent MirPorts first, though…) Other options would be different trackers or running one of our own. I will announce the outcome as news entry, once done.
On the plus side, the review process of mksh(1) in Android continues, and I fixed the realpath builtin to behave even more POSIX-ish.
New snapshot 2010-08-15 (i386), sparc reloaded
I'm currently putting the finishing touches on a new MirBSD snapshot for i386, targetting FrOSCon. Due to German patent 69429378 (EP0618540) I had to update the sparc kernel (GENERIC and RAMDISK) as well though. For now, mount_msdos(8) LFN support is disabled entirely, but a code rewrite to support LFNs in FAT in a non-infringing way (although for a file with LFN, no SFN will be generated any more then) is planned already (just not done before FrOSCon). This situation, in general, sucks.
The HTML manpages have also been updated, and the PDF manpage for mksh is now PDF 1.4 – something closely resembling, if not, PDF/A actually.
The snapshot will, as usual, end up on the mirrors, i.e.
- Germany main (Strato) secure HTTP
- Japan (AllBSD.org) insecure HTTP
- USA insecure HTTP and FTP
All 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

Earthquake Shakes Greeley and Surrounding Cities
An earthquake rattled Greeley surrounding communities and on Saturday, May 31.
An earthquake rattled Greeley surrounding communities and on Saturday, May 31.
The Poudre River is flooding the Varra Gravel Pit in East Greeley. According to the City of Greeley Water Department and Weld County Emergency Management, the river is currently flowing into the pit.
Brian Gary and Todd Harding were proud to be a part of the Weld County Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Colorado again this year. Check out pictures from this year's event.
The Downtown Greeley Safeway will close later this month. The store on 11th Ave. will close June 21st.
Weld County is introducing a new real-time road map for the public. After the 2013 Flood, several county departments came together to discuss new ways to better communicate road-closure information to the public.
A scary scene took form at a place you would expect to be one of the safest today in Greeley. Around 8 a.m. this morning, an elderly man shot himself in the head on the front steps of the Greeley Police Station.
Brian and Todd had the honor of driving the K99 truck in the Greeley-Weld Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics last year. They have been asked back again this year.
Mike and Nomie Ketterling have been named the 2014 Greeley Stampede Grand Marshals. It is so wonderful that two people who have done so much for our community were honored this year.
Update 3:30 p.m. Monday, May 26: Due to the past few days of rain, water levels along the Poudre River are rising and are quickly approaching flood stage. A flood advisory has been issued for Larimer County through this evening. A flood watch is in effect in Weld County until Wednesday morning, May 28. Multiple roadways in Windsor are closed due to flooding.
Linn Grove Cemetery will be hosting their 140th annual Memorial Day Program on Monday, May 26th at 9:00 a.m. at Linn Grove Cemetery, 1700 Cedar Ave. in Greeley.

It takes real skills to sweet-talk a cab driver into joining you in the back seat for X-rated fun. Dude found Natali driving the day shift in Prague and seduced her into driving to a quiet spot to give him a taste of her masterful blowjobbing skills.
Something about being all alone in the mountains, with no one for miles, got Lexi in the mood to be a naughty girl and flash her amazing titties. Teasing her man on the hiking trail got her so fucking horny they raced to their hotel room to bang.

"Chicago Fire" recap (2.15): Know Your Role
Jones is cooking lunch when Mills asks her what she's making. She point to three whole tomatoes and a sprig of cilantro and says "salsa, duh." Mouch comes in looking for food and finds that his couch is missing. Who is Mouch without his couch? Satre probably wrote something about this. Herrmann shows Mouch that the couch has been repurposed by Connie. He's caught in an existential crisis which he will conquer after lunch.
Jones tells everyone she's not much of a cook what with all the tree climbing she used to do with Aria Montgomery back in the day. Casey says that Jones graduated at the top of her class, surely she can figure out some basic home-ec. She bristles at the suggestion that she will be judged for her cooking but Casey reminds her it's all part of the job. There's some sexist shit going on, Jones, but this isn't it. Mills got all the same crap you're getting. Casey tells her to scrub the showers after lunch. She tells him she already scrubbed them but he doesn't care he wants them good and clean for the next time he and Dawson grab a quickie.
Jones hurries out to the garage and plunks her ass down at the squad table and starts spilling her guts to Severide. She says she can't get a fair shake with Casey. Help me Severide, you're my only hope. He says, "Jones, you're at the squad table." Before Severide can get over the shock of that egregious display of rule breaking from Jones his dad appears. Benny has wandered out of his hobo camp to find out what the hell happened to Katie. Severide tells him there's nothing he can do. For a couple of guys used to running into burning buildings and saving lives it seems like the hardest thing to be is powerless.
They all get called to a stabbing at the courthouse. The victim is on trial for murder and is shackled to a desk. The key breaks off in his cuffs and Casey can't pry the chains off. He sends Herrmann and Jones out for a fire extinguisher. She gets to there and back first. They freeze the bolt and Casey breaks it so they can get the guy out of the courtroom. Jones can't wipe the smug grin off her face. Maybe your dad doesn't hate you because you're a girl, Jones. Maybe he hates you because you're insufferable.
Back at 51 she's regaling Herrmann with all the reasons why she kicked his ass in the race for the fire extinguisher. Severide is watching her dig her own grave and calls her out of the room for a chat. He tells her the secret to success is doing her job and keeping her mouth shut. She says she was just busting Herrmann's balls. Stop talking. She says "is it because I'm a woman?" Stop talking. She bitches some more. Severide asks "why are you still talking?"
Mouch visits his couch and tells it the separation is temporary. He and Connie will work it out but for now he's only going to see the couch on weekends and holidays. Inside Casey is telling the Chief all about Jones and her on the job fuck ups. Boden says, "I'll let her father know she's doing great." Casey offers some unsolicited advice which amounts to him basically singing that Tim McGraw song "Live Like You're Dying." OK, eggshell head, you're feeling your mortality. But if you say any of this stupid shit to Boden again, he might end you.
Mouch busts in and tells Boden that Connie is out of control and he needs Boden to help. Boden smiles and nods and says, "I'm petrified of Connie. I only ask her to do things I don't actually know how to do myself."
Down in the garage, Shay back the rig in and hops out to say hi to Severide. She says he's been rather quiet and wants to know if he's been in the restricted section of the library again. He puts down his book of curses and says nope, just thinking about puppies and unicorns. Dawson says "hey look a creepy car with a rapist in it!" Severide runs out and Keeler taunts him from the passenger seat.
Otis wants in on whatever Kelly and the boys are planning. He says he loves Katie and Kelly reminds him that they played one game of Dork Parade and drank one milkshake with two straws. Not for nothing, Kelly but you knew Katie about ten minutes longer than Otis. Detective Hairporn swaggers in and Kelly is all, "What's up, Erin? We're just a couple of dudes sitting around talking about movies and shit. Do you like The Notebook?" She can smell the BS radiating off him like he's Charlie Brown's friend Pigpen. She reminds him that she will "haul his ass" away and in that voice she could read the damn phone book and she'd have all of us eating out of her hand. Det. Lindsay, I hate to see you go but damn, I love to watch you walk away.
Casey walks into the locker room and Cruz, Mouch, and Herrmann start bitching about Jones being cocky and entitled and not knowing her place. Casey tells them to put down their torches and pitchforks because Jones is just trying to hold her own. Dawson asks him what they were up to. Casey says that he was getting the guys to give Jones a break because they wouldn't be complaining if Jones were a guy. Well done, Casey. Then things get weird. Dawson is all give her a fair shake but remember she's a lying cheater who threatened me in the bathroom. When he gets protective she says, "I can handle her myself." Poor Casey is out of his depth. He was doing so well and then he says he doesn't want the responsibility of a woman on the truck. Oh no. They bicker some more about how he worries about Dawson and how girls can take care of themselves and wow, is this a mess.
Mouch hands Connie a cactus and apologizes. He says he's in way over his head with the union business and asks her to help him. He starts crying. She tells him to "man up." Everyone gets called out to a high rise fire. Dawson bitches about Casey and Shay understands. She suggests they unscrew the legs of Jones' bunk and Dawson says "you really get me" and they make eyes at each other. I bet Shay could offer Casey tips on all sorts of things when it comes to Dawson.
The elevators are out so the team has to hoof it up 18 flights of stairs. Jones struggles for a minute to heft her gear and then kicks ass going up the stairs. When they reach the fire she's with Casey. It's an inferno out of my worst nightmares. Casey leaves her to pull a body out while he goes searching for more victims. She has trouble with the guy but figures out how to get him out. She gets part of the way to the door and Herrmann rushes up to help. She starts freaking out a little and he tells her she's doing great and sends her back to help someone else. She helps Casey evacuate two victims and then hands them off to Dawson at the rig.
Back at the house Herrmann busts Jones some more, but it's a little friendlier this time. The couch is back and Mouch takes a moment to celebrate his love for an inanimate object. Casey tells Jones that she did a very good job in the fire but that her cooking needs help. So Mills presents her with a book of recipes that even she can't screw up. Casey says, "I hope Mills handwriting isn't too bad. I hear you have dyslexia." Yeah, everyone knows you're a cheater, Jones. Mills tell her she's going to be fine and she snaps at him. He's the only one who has been nice to you, Jones, take it down a few notches.
Casey and Dawson are looking for a new place, and Dawson is just looking amazing per usual. Casey asks if they are OK and she says yeah. Next week maybe she'll rediscover her dream of going to medical school, or being an astronaut.
Detective Lindsay walks into Molly's and tells Severide and the brain trust that Keeler has gone missing. But the real crime is that she's not there looking for Shay. You two would make beautiful lady babies. The boys all look guilty as hell (but my money's on Benny).
What did you think? How happy were you to see Shawson reunited?

Thomas Sowell: Reality vs. the left's preconceptions
Yet runners from Kenya continue to win a disproportionate share of marathons in the United States, and children whose parents or grandparents came from India have won most of the American spelling bees in the past 15 years. And has anyone failed to notice that the leading professional basketball players have for years been black, in a country where most of the population is white?
If the preconceptions of the left were correct, central planning by educated elites with vast amounts of statistical data at their fingertips, expertise readily available, and backed by the power of government, should have been more successful than market economies where millions of individuals pursued their own individual interests willy-nilly.
