Me as a south park figure

This is what I would look like if I ever got put into South Park.
Created using http://www.sp-studio.de/ a sweet way to spend a few minutes.

Currently reading

I'm three weeks in on my vacation and reading in order to stand reality. Joel Spolsky has once again made me a slave to the couch with his book "Smart and Gets Things Done: Joel Spolsky's Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent". Its a great book and I recommend it to everyone involved in the making of software. Joel delivers with a sense of humour and its very interesting.

Some notes on ARM development

My development of NetBSD and crosscompiling for Mac os X has continued and I think its time for some small notes to be placed here.
Check out NetBSD sources from the CVS as stated on their homepage., I follow the -CURRENT since I love bleeding edge.
To build the tools in order to crosscompile simple fire upp Terminal.app and do:
cd netbsd-current
./build.sh -j 3 -u -U -m evbarm tools
This should build the tools and place them in a dir called tooldir.Darwin-8.10.1-i386.
Try to build the release
./build.sh -j 3 -u -U -m evbarm release

Just wait and see the results. Hopefully it has built and a obj/releasedir/evbarm has been created.
Now its up to you to continue. :)
