I just got back from the LISA '09 conference in Baltimore. For those who do not know what that is, it originally meant Large Installation System Administration. There are heated debates on what comprises a large system now, so the expanded name is...

Post BSDCan Blues

2009-05-10T17:27:50Z

The conference is over, and it's time to return to the mundane. It was a good time - formal talks, social activity and lots of idea exchanges. Actually a very good time. If I was independently wealthy, I'd probably spend most of my time attending ...

I'm a little slow posting, as I have been too busy to post (read catching up on sleep from 5 days of too little sleep). I attended the inaugural linuxfest last weekend, well, the conference/fest was on Saturday with a early-bird party Friday night...

Audio was easy...

2007-10-08T05:29:14Z

Well, the audio so far was pretty easy. I'm not an audio engineer, nor do I have the patience for it. The audio for the conference was originally recorded as wav files on a cd recorder for each session, so given what t he microphone the speaker is...
