I.T. and a healthy, balanced diet…

The Girl tells me I should be “Eating breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a Pauper.”

Lets see how Wednesday measured up.

Breakfast - cold toast, much of which scattered across keyboard whilst RDP’d into a client’s server
Lunch - Frapperlattimochachino thing, sipped whilst typing into a supplier’s “Live Chat”, trying to get remote backups to sync correctly
Dinner - Latte with side order of M&M’s, drunk and eaten at 80mph in the fast lane of the M1, heading north at 11pm.

Yeah, my body is a temple.

GKH is a skinny Steve Ballmer…

No Monkey Dance … yet … but this is the closest you’ll get.

Greg Kroah Hartman gives an excellent talk on the development processes, contributors etc. to the Linux kernel. There’s some really stirring stuff in there, particularly the page referring to changes that have gone into 2.6.26 - you can’t really make out the individual items but its kind of awesome all the same.

The kernel has always held a special fascination for me and I harbour a slightly childish ambition to contribute a single patch to the Linux kernel. Given that a Google employee has contributed seven spelling fixes, maybe I might just be able to fulfill it. :)
