Bug in cache/slave ports
I just noticed a bug in the slave ports, when Bacula Server, that excellent backup tool, was upgraded to 2.0.0. The slave port, Bacula Client, was still on the old version. I hope to fix this soon. As a precaution, I emptied the entire cache. 20:45 – fixed. It was a glob, or rather, lack

Headed to LISA
I’m headed to LISA. I was able to get a cheap air ticket, and an even cheaper hotel. I’ll be meeting up with the PostgreSQL group and spending most of my time at the *BSD booth. I’ll also be bringing along some brochures for the PostgreSQL conference. If you’re there, stop by.
FreshSource/FreshPorts as a developer platform
Robert Watson has raised a few idea on how FreshSource can be used as a developer platform. These ideas are equally applicable to FreshPorts. See http://www.freshsource.org/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=33&t=33.

There will be a PostgreSQL Conference in May 2007. I’ll definintely be there! I’m looking forward to this. It’s right after a BSD conference. There will be quite a few people attending both conferences. One trip, two conferences, a great time.
