Well, it's a quarter to ten and I'm still here at work. I've been here since 8:30 am. This is starting to feel just like school, only at school there was the Cafe. Here there is only loneliness... and the darkness outside the windows.

This process I follow has become more than just a ritual- it's actually a way of life. You break the kernel, you rebuild it. You scp it to your victim. Bosboot to build a boot image. sync; sync; reboot. You wait for the machine to boot up- hopefully you haven't broken it so badly that it won't start. ever hopeful, you run the test program, once again crashing the kernel. You grind your teeth, restart the machine, and this time drop immediately into the kernel debugger and start setting breakpoints. Bang head against wall. Repeat. This time you'll set breakpoints in the debugger BEFORE running the test program, if you're smart.

it seems like things must be getting kinda bad when i start putting printf's into the kernel. There is no universe in which this is a good sign.

*sigh*
