Well, I won’t say much but point-to-point and point-to-multipoint does not have to be short-range or rely on centralised infrastructure. People have been using a means of such communication for over 100 years, which allows for ad-hoc, distributed communications. Yes, it prohibits the use of encryption, but that doesn’t prevent us from using it as [...]

Well, the conference is nearing its end, and yesterday morning it was showing. Wednesday night finished up rather late. Yesterday I had a look at Rusty Russell’s talk on advanced C programming. Very enlightening, although much of it went woosh over my head due to my state of sleepiness and the speed of the presentation. [...]
Well, this day the conference got on in earnest. Tuesday I spent almost all my time in the Parallel computing conference, which was very interesting. The first session was, let’s just say, very interactive. Dr. Vinton Cerf giving a presentation on the implications of parallel computing on network infrastructure, wound up being as much him [...]
Yesterday was great. A lot of interesting discussion on Ardunio and the business of Open Source, particularly the commercial implications of the GPL. Well worth seeing. Today has been good so far too. Been in N515 listening to the parallel computing talks, and it has been very interactive as well. Whilst listening, I’ve set myself [...]
Well one Lemote Fuloong 2F system has already been given away, and the new owner has been asked to try and find out about them. Some of you may be aware of some Lemote related resources on my devspace. I’ll try to get some Fuloong 2F stuff up there, but I’m flying blind as I [...]
Well, here I am. Just registered and watching the stream flowing into the rego desk. It’s not a queue, it’s the whole alphabet. The only queue I’ve seen longer recently was the one to the checkout at the local shopping centre just before the flood peak. Journey between The Gap and Kelvin Grove along Waterworks [...]
Well, that pretty much explains me the last few days. Haven’t really done much planning, just been taking it one day at a time. Ironically, it’s exactly what I recall seeing as the theme for linux.conf.au this year. The very same year that the Brisbane and Bremer rivers decided to get out of bed and [...]
Recently, a new version of binutils was released. I had reported earlier about some patches needed to work around errata bugs in the Loongson CPUs. There were also some other big updates since. GCC 4.5 and Perl 5.12 have both been unmasked, enough has changed to warrant a rebuild before things get too far out [...]
Well, binutils-2.21 has been released. Amongst the changes were some fixes for Loongson 2E and 2F systems, and a whole host of MIPS related commits. I tried experimenting with one of the binutils CVS releases, and had good success building Qt and the KDE desktop on the Yeeloong. I still have issues with JavaScript in [...]
32-bit Gentoo/MIPS stages for both big and little endian systems are now available for MIPS-I, MIPS-III and MIPS-IV. For now I’ve got these on my devspace, but I hope to get some of them out to mirrors as soon as possible. I’d appreciate any feedback on this release. http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/sgi/stages/ — Big-endian systems http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/cobalt/stages/ — Little-endian [...]
