The silent days of the profound, pained people.. Hussein wakes, looks out at the desert, a rare mist fills the air, and for him, a moment of profound peace... The brisk day for Stalin.. light winds blow through the Kremlin, How can we hope to touch on infinity, how justice is a knife, another knife into the peace we feel. A necessary knife, .. but not for now. Today is for infinity, the sandy winds, the sleeping farms. Not a time to mobilize. For other days we can watch the water fall.. in the sink.. in the stream. A day aside.. an accidental significance is discarded.. not the eternal recurrence, nor the spinning dialectic, but something else.

We have great gifts, the community smiles. Sun has given us a new pair of glasses. Redhat has given us a new network file system called GFS. Guten Geshenken.. I wonder if GFS is actually going to be a good replacement for NFS.. AFS, which we use here at CMU, really isn't suitable for most things. I guess it could be said though that the Unix world (well, things are actually worse on other OS's) has really been eager for an improved replacement/update for NFS for quite some time now. NFSv4 might prove to be a contender, but if not, perhaps GFS will be cool. I look forward to playing with it. As for LGlass, I really don't know if I'll use it -- I am kind of wed to WindowMaker, having used it for many years, but if it's cool enough...
