Woo, health
Follow-up to Damn you, society. from Nothing to see here
My blood pressure’s back down again. The nurse thinks it was the stress of term-time, but we all know the fall is entirely attributable to my recent GNU Mach hacking.

Hurd on qemu
Urgh, woke up this morning “dreaming” that I was at a command shell. I mean, it was fairly lucid dreaming – I was running commands – there was no keyboard or monitor involved, just the command line in my head. Freaky. I think qemu was involved, and GNU Mach, and some crazy undocumented access to memory devices in order to take backups.
Ahem. So, in completely unrelated news, I created a qemu image of Debian GNU/Hurd last night (using crosshurd from within qemu, a process which I’m not sure is documented anywhere), and this morning it’s all pretty much finished installing. I might put the image somewhere, after a bit more setting up. Now, I really need breakfast.
EDIT: It seems Google likes Warwick Blogs. Installing Hurd on qemu is a reasonable resource for the traditional approach – I’ll probably document the crosshurd way at some point.
