David T. Crosby. NiceBSD Dev Diary 2015-09-20. Sun 20 September 2015. Realized I hadn’t made a dev diary update in 6 months, and thought I’d make an update.

David T. Crosby. Know Yer RFCs - RFC. 865, Quote of the Day Protocol ( STD. Thu 30 April 2015. This is one of the protocols that I’m kind of surprised isn’t in more use, by virtue of its simplicity in implementation. RFC. 865 is a layer 7 debugging RFC. Where a socket listens for a TCP. Connection, and then sends a short, arbitrary message. Change to higher number port to run as normal user. 865 recommends the character set be limited to ASCII. Box scores of today’s baseball game.

These snapshots were compiled by Jon Postel. Up to his death in 1998 (last one being RFC.

David T. Crosby. Sat 18 April 2015. My laptop keyboard has decided to kick the bucket. Not an insurmountable problem, but a pain nonetheless (hence the lateness of the post). I’m hoping to have it sorted out in the next 48 hours, but it means a lost weekend of NiceBSD development. How does a project blow its deadline? One day at a time. So today is the Matt Might article round-up - here’s the articles he’e written that I’ve enjoyed, and hope you will too:. 12 Resolutions for Programmers.
