Spent all of yesterday building packages for the 1.1.90 release. Updated something like 17 packages on 5 distros. Fun Fun Fun! After these all got built, pushed the updates to axon.

Released 1.1.90 to the world. Made a tarball of all the sources, it was something like 32 MB. KDE released a beta of KDE 2, with a huge press release and stuff.

We got slashdotted again, because of the Evolution release. Fortunately we had been moved to the 100 MBit section, and the images were being served off of Akamai, so the web pages were pretty fast, I hope.

Announced the 1.1.90 Helix GNOME updates on the updates list. Unfortunately, at some point I messed up the libdb stuff again, but it is fixed now. We served ~13 GB from the ftp server today; dunno how much the web server did. But Nat hacked the installer and updater to get packages from Akamai, so things should be much better bandwidth wise. At least that is what we hope.

The other day I couldn't sleep so I hacked this.

It seems Sony isn't making the 64 MB RAM upgrade for my laptop anymore, or something. I was all set to spend some money, too.
