somehow joe and i managed to trick phil into coming over to get indian. after that, i managed to trick him into looking at our lustre server. a full rebuild of the kernel + lustre and 3 bugs later, i'm able to edit this on a (remote) lustre mount (and also serve it from the local mount), and even save it without it complaining about fsync() errors!
all in all, it's been a good day.
right now on msnbc, they have some reporter in iraq on the phone while he's trying to help rescue an iraqi family or something and there is some firefight going on or something. they had to run out - they were taking fire or something - and it was pretty hectic for a while. i am kinda disappointed that there aren't as many live video feeds as there were last week.
i think i upset my friend chris with some comments i made about the new moz roadmap. it's definitely worth a read, if you have some free time.
anyway, i'm excited (as much as i can get about something like this) about the new plan, since i'm a fan of smaller, split-up apps (apple's tools: iCal, Mail.app, Address Book, Safari) than the larger monolithic apps (Mozilla, evolution). i'm especially looking forward to the split-out mailer, since i'd rather use safari or camino than mozilla-the-browser.
maybe i should go to sleep.
