OLS, Day 3
I didn't get to attend very much of OLS this Friday. The most
interesting thing was an X BOFS. Again, Keith Packard and Jim Gettys put
on an interesting conversation. This one looked like it drew a lot of
interest from potential developers. An observation is that the X talks
have drawn the largest crowds of any of the concurrent seminars. This is
good, and it's a sign that good things will come relatively quickly.
The photo is of yesterday's X presentation, with two videos playing with different levels of overlapping transparency. I know I'll look back on this in a few years and consider it super-primitive.
The evening was spent doing more water-ballooning from the 16th floor. My aim has drastically improved. I was able to hit within a couple of meters from targets most of the time. Decent for distances in excess of 200m.
My family left this morning for a week-long vacation, giving me the freedom to get some true rest.
