Sweet Weekend

As usual I am in Wilkesboro this weekend with Tanu. It's been going great so far. We cooked "Baigan ka Bharta" (an Egg Plant dish) this afternoon and it was simply awesome. It's good that we cooked some large quantity of it, so we could even have it for dinner,

So past few days have been extemely busy for me. The reason being that I have got assigned to a new project at my work and have being working a lot on B-tree page cache implementation for the Linux kernel. The B-tree stuff has been a real pain in the ass. I discovered some serious bugs in the code I released. I have reworked on these and now I plan to release the code under GPL using google code. A side effect of the buggy code is that I ran a custom kernel with the faulty B-tree implementation on my laptop and it blew off the entire filesystem. How more stupid could I be. Have learnt an important lesson now that I need to always use simulators for testing and that more importantly I should not test code that writes to the boot partition on my laptop.

However there have been some positive outcomes as well. I have now installed Ubuntu on my laptop and I am loving it. Also I determined the cause of all the problems and have debugged my implementation. I think I have fixed all of the problems. I now ran my patch under a simulator and it seems to work fine even under heavy write load. Hence I think most of problems have been solved.

Nothing much going on apart from all the technical garbagge that I love to eat. Working on plans to go to India, cooking some good food and oh, yeah Tanu and me are going for the movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" ...Sweet sweet weekend.
