  • No Hoard anywhere and work conditions change

    Hoard doesn’t even work on Solaris9 64bit although Sun is referring to it as an alternate memory manager… crap.

    Good news, a works committee has been founded today at work, I hope this helps that working conditions don’t continue to degenerate as they have done in the recent past.

    One nice detail about our new project-management software: It doesn’t accept working hours in HH:MM format, it has to be recalculated to a hundred-base: 08:30 -> 8,5h Will be fun calculating my odd workload of, for example, 09:23…

  • Hoard memory allocator and AIX

    Hoard

    …Supported systems include: (blah blah) AIX

    Sounds promising, but after some trying I have to admit, that it doesn’t work on AIX with applications which are more complex than "Hello World". Better use the MALLOCMULTIHEAP environment variable 😉

    But it could greatly reduce the memory-bottleneck on the other mentioned platforms…

  • Sharing mouse and keyboard across different computers

    Synergy looks quite promising when I want to make my two computers communicate more seamlessly. Have to give it a try.

  • Corporate intranet merging

    Hm, they want to migrate all of our desktop machines at work to be inside our mother company’s intranet/domain. What comes along with it is, that all harddisk will be erased to allow only permitted software bundles inside the network.

    It’s getting interesting… seems that there are lots of unanswered questions. For example no one has any clue, how to exchange data between the machines inside and outside the network (development machines have to stay outside). 250MB/person for saving data during the migration is also ridiculous. I’ve got ~16 gigs to backup 😛

    Found something interesting. Seems to be a (almost) lightning-fast and memory-efficient data structure: Judy
