Thu Nov 01 20:09:30 2007 GMT: Alcatel-Lucent's Q3 Results
There has been a lot of news coverage of Alcatel-Lucent's third quarter results: Alcatel-Lucent to cut an extra 4,000 jobs @ IHT, Alcatel cuts deeper as makeover stalls @ IHT, Alcatel cuts 4,000 more jobs @ FT. CNN Money asks Can Russo save Alcatel-Lucent? and The Financial Times (via Yahoo) goes one step further asking "Are wrong heads rolling in Alcatel-Lucent's revamp?"

I used to store pictures for my digital photo album on ImageEvent, but have now decided to not renew my account there, but to move the pictures to edge.cmeerw.net. As a backup option I will use AOL Pictures - they apparently offer unlimited storage for free, so that looks like a good deal to me.
Fri Oct 05 18:21:43 2007 GMT: Beware of Zombie Threads
A few days ago there was a report on the PowerDNS mailing list that PowerDNS would consume huge amounts of virtual memory. It turned out that in some circumstances (db connection timeouts) PowerDNS would terminate a thread, but not detach/join it, resulting in a zombie thread. Further investigation revealed that (at least on Linux with NPTL) the whole thread stack (10 MB virtual memory) of these zombies is being kept around (although there really wouldn't be any need for this wasteful behaviour).
