		<description><![CDATA[Hi to all readers! I&#8217;m moving this blog (or at least I&#8217;m moving my intention to write   ) to a new address. I&#8217;m thankful to Florent Thoumie (and possibly others) who have been hosting and managing this collection of post as a part of the blogs.freebsdish.org system. I&#8217;m happy with the hosting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>VirtualBox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[VirtualBox was mentioned at Slashdot so I gave it another try. The last time I tried it I had problems with FreeBSD as a guest, but the new version (1.6.2) seems to solve those problems. It&#8217;s noticeably faster than VMWare so far:

UnixBench results of running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE in VirtualBox (i386) on Windows XP host are:

		<title>VMWare Server 2.0 is a step back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the start I&#8217;d like to say I don&#8217;t have anything against VMWare Inc. and their products, and use their products regularly.
I tried VMWare Server 2.0 RC1 again. The first time was sometime early in beta so I just shrugged at the problems and returned to 1.0 to wait until they are solved. This time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>nfs+sshfs+samba dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Todays wow, this really works! moment brought to you by: NFS, sshfs (from FUSE) and Samba.
There&#8217;s a NFS file server in my office, from which I mount stuff into my home directory on my workstation. There&#8217;s a small FreeBSD server in my living room which, among other things, serves Samba to my Windows desktop machine. [...]]]></description>

		<title>How many failed drives can take down a RAID5 array?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The answer, of course, is &#8220;two or more&#8221;. And it&#8217;s not nice when it happens.
Two of the drives on a nice shiny FC array failed at approximately the same time (possibly within about two minutes of each other), and both were in the same RAID5 array. Definitely not good. On the other hand I confirmed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend hack: adfsd, a kqueue-assisted rsync tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I created a small program to help me synchronize files in sort-of real-time between two directories (the idea is that one of them is on a NFS server). There are no replicated file systems for FreeBSD and the canonical way to do this is usually to use rsync or something like it. The problem here [...]]]></description>

		<title>The real power of &#8220;scripting&#8221; / interpreted languages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing a small project in C (will talk about it later) and I really miss the expressiveness that dynamic languages like Python offer. There&#8217;s one more thing in addition to elusive &#8220;elegance&#8221; and similar nontangible properties: the ability to easily use and implement better algorithms. Yes, since Turing it was obvious that the actual [...]]]></description>

		<title>FreeBSD on Subversion!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day has finally come &#8211; FreeBSD is using Subversion instead of CVS for the base source tree! Congratulations to everyone involved, especially Peter Wemm  
FreeBSD&#8217;s source CVS is one of the oldest and biggest in existence; it&#8217;s approximately 12 years old and has apparently had something like 180,000 commits over the years, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>BSDCan: final day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a really great conference! I have so many good impressions it&#8217;s just hard to sort them all out and write them down. Instead of that, here&#8217;s a treat for the geeky-minded  
In accordance with the specification expressed here:

&#8230; I&#8217;ve created a device driver that implements the functionality in kernel. In honour of [...]]]></description>

		<title>DevSummit: day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a nice day in Ottawa, Canada today, though judging by the clouds tomorrow might not be. Not that we noticed, spending all the time within the conference room. Various talks kept developers interested, and the lack of Internet connectivity (web is not the Internet&#8230;) kept them focused on the issues at hand. I [...]]]></description>
