People who know me, will know I’m quite a keen supporter of open source projects. I’m not nearly as fanatical about it as others, such as Richard Stallman, but I try to support open source as much as I can. However, I suppose I’m a much bigger supporter, of open standards, than open source. I [...]

I’ve now began building stages for the upcoming 2008.0 release. This release will see the introduction of MIPS3 stages for little endian targets (ideal for Loongson 2E users). In addition, I have my O2 compiling the big endian stages, for MIPS4, MIPS3 and MIPS1 (in that order), so this will also see the introduction of [...]
Well… I’ve now been on-air for a little over a month.

Well… since 2007.1 got cancelled, officially, it was decided that 2008.0 would be much earlier than usual to compensate. A few days ago I had my O2 busy compiling big endian stages — these were based on the cancelled 2007.1 snapshot, and I compiled them to ensure that we, as an architecture team, didn’t slip [...]

Google Maps in the Terrain view, shows why… In red, are the mountain ranges in my way. In blue, the attempted path of transmission. The green arrow shows my transmission location.
