This is going to be a long one, so pour one and light one up.

Regarding Pohl Data For the past month or two we have speculated that we wanted to sell Pohl Data. The work load was just too big compared to the effort but into the company. We didn't strike it rich this time, but in one year i can write cand.dat. on my resume - so there should be some opportunities for earning at least a bit more money than now.

As a result of the selling og Pohl Data i have also lost the dev.pohldata.dk name, and i need somewhere to host my stuff. Fortunaetely so does my partner in Pohl Data, Jesper. He runs a business called Lsehesten Randers (http://laesehesten-randers.dk) and he needs some place to host his homepage. So in exchange for keeping that server on top of things, i get to much about on another server. Both these servers are 2.66 GHz Celeron powered so there should be enough power to go around. These were actually the DNS servers from Pohl Data, that the new Pohl Data guys didn't want to buy.

To have some domain for the servers we have chosen infonet.dk, so the new development server is now called http://dev.infonet.dk

Almost all things have been transfered from the old dev. server to the new. And all the subversion repositories has been transfered to Tom Lorc's Arch. Done automatically using a script, that i will hopefully release some time in the future (i forget just hit me in the head with it).

What else has happened? Well last week i was sick from tuesday and really worked on getting well for the weekend, but with little luck. I really wanted to be well for that particular weekend, as that is the annual weekend for my high-school class to go wild and abuse our bodies for several consecutive days (or more like nights) in a seclusive vacation house with spa and sauna.

But following along with the old phrase just drink it away (maybe a danish old phrase) - i ventured into drinking the pain away - it worked! ... while i was drunk, so right now i still have a sore throat and some very bad coughs - but working on the university project nevertheless.

I wont go into details about how the high-school reunion went, but i still want to say thanks to all the ol'guys (and gals) for being nice (or whatever their behaviour could be called). Especially thansk to Ulle for spilling a can of beer all over the entirior of my car :-)

Well enough about that i think.

I have also started working on Odin again, trying to convert it to use Anybus, a library that seems to work quite well now. I have implemented a test chat client/server application utilizing Anybus using the high-level objects that one would normally use. And it seemed to be qaodmasdkwaspemas7ajkqlsmdqpakldnzsdflsquite" easy to use. Although some improvements are probably in order sometime in a future release. Version 0.0.1 is mostly finished i think.

I also found out how to package Netxx, libpathfinder and libanybus in debian packages using the cdbs system (common debian build system) - the best experience i ever had creating debian packages. All my other packages should definaetely also be using this, it's just amazingly easy.

Vertigo may also see the 0.6.0 release ("finally", some would say, others would say "- hmmm, not before Duke Nukem Forever"). One of the new Pohl Data guys want to use Vertigo for the servers (and are already using my installation of it on the servers they bought) - and he wants to have the ability to select virus scanning and spam filtering for each domain. Which should prove interesting. He is deep inside a FreeBSD guy, so some porting of Vertigo to that platform should also become reality. But don't hold your breath for the new release, we are still looking at, at least a month more.

I think that was all for now, if you have read this far you may even have a lesser life than me ;-)
