IMHO, one of the best OS around.
Today, many things appeared again in my life:
I have a watch on my wrist: the present from my parents for my graduation. It’s a Rolex Air-King which belonged to my father and then to my mother. I stopped wearing wrist watches when I started using the keyboard for more than few hours a day, 4 [...]
Ok, since my omonymous friend Matteo is getting married on Saturday 15th September, I won’t attend the conference, but I already booked my flight to Copenaghen on the 16th to attend to the DevSummit on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll be back to Italy on Wednesday 19th.
*YYYUUUPPIIEEEEEE!!*
After eight months, my main machine runs FreeBSD amd64 again, instead of FreeBSD i386. I had to run i386 due to missing bits in ndis support on amd64, but everything works now. There were some troubles finding the correct amd64 driver (.inf + .sys) for my broadcom chipset, but nothing a rapid search on google [...]
So, I manage to get flash working on FreeBSD. Without using the Linux compatability layer!
Many thanks to drizzt for his precious suggestions.
I used graphics/gnash and www/firefox. Be sure not to check “GSTREAMER” on the gnash port configuration ncurses window: it didn’t work for me.
To watch YouTube videos, you must install multimedia/mplayer and www/mplayer-plugin, the Greasemonkey [...]

A PR, bin/112266, was filed today and it seems I broke rpcbind with my recent commit. Work is going on to fix the bug.
I’m working on the following item:”Make it possible for rpcbind(8) to bind TCP listening socket to an IP other than INADDR_ANY.”
ATM, I’m busy styling my patch.
I’m on holiday, so I can spend my free time working on FreeBSD.
At the moment, my target is getting interested in the networking part of the system and I chose to start my exploration from the low hanging userland fruit listed in the Networking wiki page.
It’s quite fun, although sometimes I find myself reading man [...]
Yesterday, Daniel (danger@) checked the chapter about jails in. I wrote it while or right after having written my paper for EuroBSDCon 2005, more than a year and a half ago.
I’m really happy to hear that my contribution went through in the end.
FreeBSD has one of the best documentation project of the whole open-source world, [...]
For my 21th birthday, my friends gave me a 4GB USB pen as a present. I never had USB pens with capacity >32MB, so this was a really appreciated present.
But.
But my FreeBSD system gets stuck and freezes when I insert it *and* HAL (not the Atheros’s one, the freedesktop.org’s one) is running. The system works [...]
