Blues
Blues Fest was cool; loud blues and folk music from all corners of Grant Park, with the smell of hot dogs wafting through the air (vegans need not apply :-). Which lead to dinner afterwards...
Good Eats
If you find yourself in the Chicago area, I highly recommend giving your tastebuds a treat and stopping by Heaven on Seven. Fantastic "n'awlins" cooking; I wish there was one out in the suburbs so I wouldn't have to brave downtown traffic to eat there. If you feel up to it, order the "Hot as a Mutha"; you have to sign a waiver, and if you finish it (yes, I ate the whole thing ;-) you get a spanky little fridge magnet that proclaims "I survived the Mutha!" and a bottle of "Hot as a Mutha" hot sauce (a tasty habenero blend). They'll also feed you for free, provided you can supply a bottle of hot sauce that they don't already have on their wall-o-sauces.
Solaris and large IDE disks
IDE and Solaris just don't mix, but this at least makes it bearable; you'll finally be able to support "large" (ie. 8G or more) IDE disks under Solaris versions earlier than 7. I'm still working on getting it to work correctly, but at least Solaris sees the drive now, which is a huge improvement over previous attempts. Ye ghods, just give me SCSI...
