Wow. Ok, what a week.

So Friday was fun and I had to get 4 stitches on the top of my head. Ok, enough said about that!

Yesterday, after reading a /. article, I installed qemu and its accelerator module.

After playing with it quite a bit, I officially dub it ‘very freaking cool’ but not ‘completly unfathomably amazing.’ That is, I can’t nuke my windows partition I use for a few work projects just yet.

I followed the HOWTO here for the most part. Just extract the kqemu tarball into its subdirectory within your untarred qemu CVS tarball’s dir. Then just ./configure && make && make install as normal. Also, make sure your kernel source/headers are available. If not, configure will complain.

Then fire up the kernel module (modprobe kqemu) and you’re ready to rock.

This morning, I overslept and then was pulled over trying to make it to campus on time.

Me: rolls down window “This isn’t going to be a warning is it.”

Cop: “No.”

To be fair, I only ran over 3 underage schoolchildren while talking on the phone, smoking a square, and juggling flaming tennisballs!
