From the "they called it bsd, and open because its always free!" section

After spending a pleasant weekend vacation in Bicol, I'm back! (Heh, not a big deal for the readers, but this is my blog! I will post any entries I want to post :P)

By the way, I have just uploaded the OpenBSD 3.7 song (see http://www.feu-nrmf.ph/norbert/songs/). You can also read the message from Theo about the release song on this URL:

Going to Bicol...

I've found my former college instructor on IRC. He's still in Bicol. It's been a long time I haven't talked to him. We spent a few hours reminiscing our college days, especially our weekly "inuman" and "tong-its" sessions. I also told him that I will be in Bicol this coming Saturday. He invited me to join a channel EB which will also be held this coming Saturday.

I originally intend to leave Manila Saturday morning, and I think, I'll move it on Friday so that I can attend the said gathering.

Batangas Vacation

I always feel very tired this past few days. I think I need some break.

Surprisingly, my niece from Laoag just arrived today and she decided to spent her vacation with us (for at least two weeks). I think this is a good time for a weekend vacation in a province, so we decided to go to Batangas tommorow afternoon.

Hey, a two day vacation can still remove some stress on your body :-)

Linux will now be BSD

From the "misc. april one news" section

Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds and other Linux kernel developers decided to release the next 2.8 series of kernel under the BSD license. In an interview with Linus, he said that it's time for Linux to try another OSI-approved license. "Netfilter will not be our default packet filtering tool anymore, we will port OpenBSD pf to the Linux kernel", Torvalds added.
