Hazard received the Amazon package which had some stuff for me too - “Full Metal Jacket” and “Payback” DVDs, and Criptonomicon and Annotated Alice in Wonderland books. Entertainment time.
Quick beer in German restaurant and off to Hazard’s place to watch “Mars Attacks!”. Good Friday.

I, of course, forgot to mention that one of the physical results of BitTorrent experiment was a set of South Park series, which I watched with Hazard during few beers. Sweeet!

Today is the end of the first real (first touch was when Red Hat 9 came out all Red Hat mirrors were dead) experiment with BitTorrent. BitTorrent is an excellent peer-to-peer network based on an open protocol. Speeds are excellent and there is a bunch of content. Look, for example at SuperNova.
Few minor glitches which I found to be my fault, but overall I am very positively impressed. Good job!

Today is the last night shift of the series since Saturday. Most of the stuff that I’ve planned for these nights is done now and I am kind of happy I took them. Also, it proved to be a good addition to my basic salary.
Archeological news: I’ve found the first mention of me studing Linux! The date is 28th of November 1998. Distribution - Slackware 3.5. I even don’t remember that I ever used Slackware.
Anyway. Data comes from these two messages to the linuxtalk mailing list (in Russian). For those, who want to try Slackware 3.5, it can be downloaded from here. Good luck!

Went to Slavka’s place after work. Lots of beer, vodka and music. Good time.
