I am going to be a father!

Today i was told we (Victoria and I) are going to have a baby girl. a GIRL. so much for all those people telling me “i know you’re going to have a boy. i just feel it.”… yea right. I knew i’m going to have a girl. A man should know his work…

I can only say it’s one of the happiest days of my life. I can’t describe the feeling when looking for the 1st time at my baby’s face in that 3d machine, seeing her tiny hands… i can’t even find the words describing it in Hebrew… uplifting? doesn’t come close.

I can’t wait until October!!!

Archie installer, take 2

Although life has been keeping me busy, i worked hard on finishing the Archie installer – basically i recoded it from scratch… i used most of the inner functions, but the layout and gui functions were completely recoded. so, here are some screenshots :

its 99% complete – some minor tweaks here and there are left, but nothing major. i’m pretty much satisfied with it

i also tested it under qemu and except for one problem (setting the appropriate vga=xxx parameter for bootloader) it works flawlessly. so…

im still waiting for iphitus (James) to finish up the squashfs-lzma patch and put it into the ‘beyond’ kernel so we can release Archie 0.6 already… i just hope it won’t take TOO long…
