My resolution - to update this blog more...

I'm not normally one of those people who bothers with New Years resolutions, however, this year I did decide I'd like to start blogging a bit more regularly. Mainly about Unix/Linux, but I find its difficult to be inspired to write something from time to time.

Last year during one of these moments of inspiration I managed to get an article published which was a first. The article in question was about wireless in Linux using NDiswrapper which was a feature story in the April 2006 issue of Linux Magazine (which is the best techie Linux magazine out there), "Look, Ma, No Wires!", but
since then I haven't had the time to write about anything else.

I did randomly get asked to appear on Newsnight to talk briefly about BitTorrent though which was an interesting experience. The response to the overall piece in the community was even more interesting - Slashdot: A Bit of BitTorrent Bother. I have no regrets on the piece, I agree with much of the criticism of the report (I've using BT for 4 years), but at the end of the day all they (the BBC) wanted to show in the end was me demonstrating how easily torrents can be encypted. Unless you're the producer of a piece, you don't really have much say in how you're portrayed, unfortunately.

There's a couple of topics I feel I could write a decent amount about, which I have had to spend some time looking at - core file creation & kernel panics in Linux versus Solaris; & I/O buffer caching thresholds in Linux/Solaris. Whether I get much written remains to be seen - especially as I'm doing this years Étape du Tour...

Either way, I intend to make 2007 the year I start writing more about Unix & hopefully there could start being some useful information on this blog, that someone out there starts to find useful & insightful.
