Guillermo's suggestion to use a sparse-file based portage has given me an idea. I can simply create a second VMWare disk that will, if present, be loaded into the system, otherwise /usr/portage will be empty. People who want to update or add software to the system can download the portage disks.
That will also mean ...

We had our engagement party on Saturday evening, something remotely like a traditional Albanian one, just the two families getting together to get to know each other. Quiet little thing at which I asked Soni to marry me. She said yes :) .There is now a great deal of chocolate in the house. Soni ...

I spent the bulk of the afternoon and evening playing with the developer's image for the laptop. Among other things, I sat down and tried to write a HelloWorld application using "best practises" as far as I understand them.

Looks like we'll have an XO for the talk on Tuesday (Tentatively present...)

We have a tentative booking to have an XO (OLPC laptop) at the PyGTA presentation on Tuesday. I'm also going to try to get some time to both cut down and defragment the image so that it doesn't take as much disk space (I'd like to get it down to 2GB within the image and ...

Very long day uploading (Upstream seems to suck pretty bad here...)
Written by

I've been uploading the image since noon today, another 8 hours or more before it's finished. I've also got a torrent seeded on LinuxTracker, but that was just as slow (though that's mostly because I only had one person attached, so bittorrent was basically just creating an http download stream).
