Yay, the box with the power cord to the machine with the email filters
has been unearthed!
(I've been following the mailing list web archive all this time, but
apparently people chose to email me privately about the toybox web page
having regressed to april instead of posting to the list about it, so
I'm just seeing it now. I'm up to the 23rd. Yeah, I was updating the
website from the wrong machine. See "power cord", above.)
For those who missed it: My house flooded in an unusually intense
thunderstorm friday before last. It didn't flood _much_ but "drywall"
has "dry" in the name, and the carpets were soaked with not very clean
water, so everything went into boxes rapidly so disaster recovery people
could put in giant fans and dehumidifers for 5 days (this is texas,
black mold is a thing here), during which the air conditioner failed
twice (92F the first time, 99F the second, neither was a restful night;
those dehumidifers put off a LOT of heat). And I apparently caught
something cutting up and carrying outside all that floodwater-soaked
carpet and padding, although it took about a week to incubate. (cough.)
So the flooring people get here to install new floors everywhere but the
kitchen and bathrooms on friday, and once _that's_ over things may
finally get back to normal around here.
Now I've got the missing power cord back (and the dead cable modem
exchanged for a drier one, and did you know T-mobile's "unlimited" phone
plan caps tethering a 3 gigs, even in evening hours? Fade would not have
watched hulu through it if we'd known that.) So anyway, I should be able
to catch up on email now, although there's quite the backlog so it may
take a bit.
During all this I've got most of find.c implemented, and various other
in-passing cleanups. (You may have noticed them going into the
repository. I posted a couple status reports from the gmail web
interface, but you try reading a flat mailbox with linux-kernel and
qemu-devel and buildroot and busybox and uclibc and who knows how many
other mailing lists piled in it...)
The next big thing for me to tackle after find is mdev, and I also have
pending mount.c and grep.c stuff I need to finish and check in.
Still aiming for a release at the end of august.
So, what did I miss while I was out?
