Boys: You didn't make it

After being rejected by these guys and the IEEE in our (Alejo and I) kernelish patches for security improvements (here and here) on the same day i have to say:
The IEEE thing had been far fetched from day one, that is, it was really hard for it to make it. The comments of the guys on the rejection note, tough, show that they actually read the paper and make some interesting sugestions. I really like that, it shows they took the time to read the whole paper and make constructive criticism.


On other news, the place where the evil list was hosted has given me an ultimatum: Pay US$10 or surrender your site. Since the only allowed form of payment involves using a chibchombian credit card to pay in US dollars (which in itself involves a fee of US$30 and an exchange rate that makes a US dollar cost about 3500 colombian pesos) I am not going to hold on to the site much longer. Anybody willing to host the poor perlish scripts before their death about ten days from now will be more than welcome to have them.


I have been looking for a job. It is tough business. It is like selling meat, only you are the meat, damn.
