Geeky music, tools and bugs

Today's discoveries:
  • TCC is a tiny C compiler that allows you to do #!/usr/bin/tcc -run at the top of C files! It is really handy for those 20 line test programs.
Things I am working on:
  • Today I wrote what seems like a proper solution to a QEMU bug that was causing CDROM devices to be unhappy under recent Kernel versions. The bug turns out to be really simple but it took a bit of time to learn about ATAPI and AT devices to understand what was failing.
  • I am also working on a patch to give quilt the ability to pull down a series and all patches via http/ftp. It is a bit frustrating being pointed at a patches/ directory but having no quick way of pulling them into your series.
