• Up and off to work.
  • Continued wrapping up projects. Rebuilt toolchain and kernel for memory leak problem using customer’s configuration. Still can’t reproduce. Asked for more details (if they’re using custom hardware, etc.).
  • Got in touch with Canonical’s travel folks and let them know that I need to depart from Detroit but return to Pittsburgh. Picked from a set of itineraries. Waiting for final confirmation.

  • Up early; off to work.
  • Lunch at Zorba’s on Smithfield St. They claim to have invented the “Pittsburgh Salad”. I don’t know if that’s true, but they certainly know how to make one.
  • Continued wrapping up projects. Can’t reproduce customer’s memory leak problem with our kernel. Asked for their configuration files. Waiting for response.
  • Sad to see the Penguins’ season end so early, but given what they’ve gone through to get as far as they did I can’t say I’m disappointed in them.

  • Up early; off to work.
  • Began my farewell tour of favorite Downtown lunch spots with DiBella’s. It’s a recent entry but quickly rose to become the best sandwich place in the Golden Triangle.
  • Started looking at travel arrangements for UDS. New manager said he’d put me in touch with Canonical’s travel people.
  • Started helping with support issues since I’m not taking on any new projects. Andy gave me a nasty support ticket about a possible memory leak in the USB gadget driver for one of our boards. I shouldn’t have said anything
  • Home then off to guitar lesson. Learned some interesting finger picking styles and variations on Travis picking.
