I got easily addicted to Phil’s frysk blog. Now when he doesn’t post I get angry. Irate. Enraged, really… lucky thing he doesn’t live nearby.

Write faster Phil!

While in Toronto I wanted to get a demo of the new ftrace utility, but that never happened. I think Cagney thought it was weird that I would ask, since really the output just looks like strace and it isn’t like there’s a nice wobbling window or dizzying 3D effect to be had. In any case the point of ftrace isn’t that a replacement for strace is super-cool, but that it is very, very simple to write using the frysk libraries. (I’m going to install rawhide on this laptop so that I can try it for myself… I have a couple other frysk-related things I want to play with as well.)
