Flan!
Posted By matt on September 27, 2004
Last night I made Creme Caramel au Cafe (aka Coffee Flan). It came out okay. The carmel was a little overcooked and burnt, but other than that, it was okay (no chunks!).
I got parchive working with my dar backup scripts, so now if a backup DVD gets scratched, I can attempt to recover up to 10% corruption. If I lose the DVD, I'm screwed, but that's okay, because this is a tier 3 backup.
I also switched to bash, basically because one of the nice people on the Linux Livejournal community pointed me at some nice resources that convinced me that bash was better than tcsh. Unfortunately, I can't find the original post, so I can't link to it.
Let's see, what else… Ah, OpenSolaris. Sun is going to open up Solaris under some OSI compatible license. I think that's nifty, and I'm going to set up a box to play with it when it comes out. A lot of people are pretty angry at this – they think that Sun should pour that money into Linux. I don't necessarily agree. I think that Solaris is a decent base, and that competition is good for the industry. Plus, Sun does a lot of neat things, and I applaud them for going with some type of OSI compatible license, and I understand if they don't want to use the GPL. Their call.
