I think sometime in 1998 I installed OpenBSD as my workstation at Globalserve
an ISP in Toronto at the time (they were aquired by Primus.ca).
I remember somewhat that the screen was blue and orange(???). But the dmesg was
blue and white (or was it?). Something like that. I was very happy that the
newest changes
back then (the strlcpy/strlcat) were just put in place. It was the safest OS
at the time I bet. I got help online on IRC from someone who was/is an OpenBSD
developer. I came from a FreeBSD background and before that Linux in 1995 and
was torn on what to like more. In 2000 at BSDCon in Monterey I made a decision
finally to embrace OpenBSD fully (I bought the shirt didn't I?). Well here is
a glass of American Ginger Ale (sorry have no access to Canada Dry here), to
my being a loyal user for 20 years.

Since July of this year I was trying to port OpenBSD/macppc to 64 bit PowerPC.
This did not work and I'm pulling the plug on this, I've wasted enough time
on this. It's a fail but somehow I'm happy it's over. This work probably
requires hacking on clang, binutils which I did not want to do, because it
requires skills I do not possess or want right now. The macppc ecosystem is
changing too. Eventually it'll be built by clang (some other people are
working on this) and perhaps when that is working there is a stepping stone
to get back to this. But perhaps not. The code is gonna rot over time who
knows. If you're interested in this keep an eye out for
my final update. I'm going to make a
downloadable CVS available most likely.

This course
seems viable. Since I'm using OpenBSD I'm already security conscious, and I'll
learn about the IT security coordination for other OS's. Could be good for me.
The course starts mid-january 2019 on a part time basis. I'll have to make a
final decision between christmas and new years of 2019.

If you haven't heard about dragonfly, now you have. You bet they are going to
introduce this into democratic countries eventually. Google stop it now!

Congratulations to Reggae Music for their inscription
on the representable list of the intangible cultural heritage of Humanity
(UNESCO). It is my favourite type of music too and I share your joy!

Unfortunately I did not get the grant from prototypefund.de and indirectly the
german government. Now I can finally say shit against this government again.
I won't be muzzled on this blog. On to plan B (look at older articles). This
also means I have more pressure to find work by 2020.

November has 1 day left roughly. I'm very happy that I have more usage.
Octobers stat was off because I rotated the stats file then. I'm very
happy about the visits particularily. The volume can be attributed to
a mistake at a search engine that downloaded some files over and over.
Thanks to all who visited!

I ordered this 9U cabinet with my dad last night. It's an effort to make
my hallway in my apartment look nicer and more professional. I'm hoping
everything works out, on how I planned it.

Today by chance while checking an
interesting article, I used xephem to check where Uranus is.
apparently it's crossed the border to Aries a while back. Interesting! Also
this "interesting article" was wrong, HD186302 is in Pavo not Norma.
Also see this article from my blog, when Uranus was still in Pisces.

Today the parcel arrived with 4 new mugs. I'm giving one away, the rest I'm
keeping. I also have another mug with the OpenBSD puffy logo. This will be
enough for 4 days out of the working week to use one. :-)
