I've been delving deeply into the Linux VM subsystem the last few days while trying to debug a problem. Its giving me the opportunity to get a feel for how the virtual memory system goes together. I'm quite enjoying it at the moment because its actually interesting and I'm learning new stuff. Hopefully I'll have a selection of debug patches and gdb macros at the end of it that will make my life easier. In the course of this I've read the Kernel Management Style document which was quite funny. Its not a tech document so I can recommend it to the non-techies if they want to get an idea of what Linus Torvalds is like and why he's respected by the geek legions.
The meal last night was good (as always). TJ went for a healthy stuffed peppers starter with a full on meat salad for the main course. Of course the wine and the bread and butter pudding desert probably brought the health level down a few notches, but its all part of the experience :-)
