Fun from Miami

It’s not really a vacation per say, but I’ve been in Miami the last week for work… And it’s been quite the dog/pony show. At any rate I leave Miami on Tuesday, then Wednesday I’m out to London…

I’ve been playing with this:

http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/projects/apout/

It’s like psim, except the enviroment is the PDP-11. I took the source and ripped out the core unixystuff (ttio, forking & whatnot) until I got a copy to build under Windows. It’ll play hunt the wumpus from Research Unix v6.

I’ll post more on this later.

Oh and I’m still alive!

Bit torrenting free software…

I was thinking with some of the larger files on my poor webserver it’d get slamed with too many people on it. Then I noticed that uTorrent supprots a limited tracker server, so I put two and two together, and decided to give it a shot.

I setup a RSS feed of the current torrents here: http://www.vaxenrule.com/vaxenrule.xml . You can subscribe to it, and that way you’ll get the ‘newest’ of the old. Also it’ll allow me to have a few machines at work in various locations througout the world to share the load as it were.

As of this moment, I’m sharing SLS 1.05 & Lites/Mach UK22. I figure something old & something obscure is a good start.
