Interview with Cricket Liu

Nice interview. Noteworthy is that ISC will begin shipping BIND with recursion off with the release of BIND 9.4.0. About time.

New version of FreeBSD myupdate script

This new version 1.2 has the following changes.
1. The script no longer echos unless there is something important to know
2. It is quieter by using -L0 arg to cvsup instead of -L2
3. It copys/checks /usr/src/UPDATING.last to decide whether to build world & build kernel

This new version should be more friendly to run from cron - since it will only produce output if a make buildworld buildkernel was deemed necessary. It you are like me, reducing the S/N ratio of automated email messages has become a daily endeavour.
