Pete's Log: mona ... revisited

Entry #572, (Coding, Hacking, & CS stuff)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

Oh man, old memories. I've been asked to optimize monad. Code I worked on spring of 1999 or so. So young was I then, and so unversed in the arts of OS code. Well, kind of. It's all relative. I learned a lot back then. I learned even more doing LTFS. So I should be able to do some good. The main problem right now is that mona is being ported to 2.4, and so none of the userlevel stuff is working yet. Which makes this particularly fun, trying to optimize non-functional code. But now I'm actually using vmware again for a purpose other than messing with random boot sectors I write. Long live kernel hacking.
