I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree which must be sure to span.
So packets can reach every LAN.
First the Root must be selected
By ID it is elected.
Least cost paths from Root are traced
In the tree these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me
Then bridges find a spanning tree.
from R. Perlman: An Algorithm for Distributed Computation of a Spanning Tree in an Extended LAN (PDF)
On that note: I passed my computer networks + mobile computing exam today … only two more exams and the diploma thesis left. Yay!

… Apple switching to Intel processors and Debian Sarge finally being released 
Edit:
And one more thing I didn’t think would happen just yet: A line for the ladies’ room on a technical conference (and that wasn’t the line after the keynote speech where there are lots of media reps and other non-tech people). Admittedly, it wasn’t a very long line compared to the one at the men’s room, but still

I just got passed the musical baton from three different people at once
Update: Guess that makes four
Total volume of music on my computer: 10 GB
The last CD I bought: I guess that must have been a used copy of “Joyride” by Roxette (yeah, laugh at me, I’m still a big fan of Roxette and that was the last album I only had on tape *g*).
Song playing right now: The Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams
Five songs I am listening to a lot:
Who’s next: Blogcat, Akkana, Kill_X, Dana

… that are better not forgotten on a roof. Ladders, for example
For the past weeks, the roof of a neighboring house was being repaired. Today they finally seemed to be finished and removed the scaffolding. When the scaffolding was gone, I noticed two wooden ladders still on the roof, and
started to wonder whether they remained there on purpose, and how the roofers were planning to get them off the roof. Although there is a small window to get out onto the roof (which is probably wide enough for the ladders to fit through), there is definitely not enough
space under the roof to actually get the ladders inside. It seemed like they’d have to get a rope and let the ladders
down the side of the house. And that’s exactly what happened …
