Fun week. Went to see a Charlotte Knights baseball game on Thursday with a bunch of coworkers. It was great fun, even though they got whipped pretty badly.
Saw Fantastic Four earlier in the week, too. I'm not sure what to think about it. The special effects were good, the acting wasn't bad, but I don't think there was really any plot. These guys didn't do much as superheroes, except for busting up Victor Von Doom and rescuing one guy who was going to take a jump. They left the ending wide open for a sequel. I don't know about it ...
In other news, I've been playing with a NetScreen 5GT I got recently. I loaded ScreenOS 5.2r1 on it, and gave it a pretty stressful routing test: had it neighbor (OSPFv2) with two Quagga boxes on a little transit network of mine. Passed nicely, even worked with MD5 authentication. I currently have it running in transparent mode between my media/wireless router and my transit network (10.3.5.0/24). (Look for "einstein" on my network map)
I need to get it to forward IPv6 traffic, but supposely this isn't supported in ScreenOS, yet. Just my luck.
Oh, yeah. I was going to try out Linux 2.6.12 this evening, but I stopped half way through menuconfig when I realized CONFIG_SND_BIT32_EMUL had been removed. I doubt 32-bit apps would have produced sound on my amd64 system, if I had built it. How rude.
