I'm melting

Or at least I was. Earlier today when the thermometer climbed above 38 C (== 100 F for the Celsius challenged in the audience), I had a hard time to keep my thoughts focused on the work at hand. My mind kept drifting towards, ice cream, cold beer, ciapirinhas and swimming pools.

The work I was trying to do were prototyping a change in audit and auditd to use libdoor(3LIB) instead of signals to communicate.

I've gotten tired of having to put sleep 5 in my scripts when I rotate the audit log with audit -n, as it just sends a signal to auditd and doesn't know when the operation has completed. See bug# 6355102 for more info.

Around 19:30 the temperature had dropped down to a measly 28 C, so I put on my running shoes and went for a run along Praia do Flamengo to clear my head. Talk about sweating like a pig, but it did feel good once I had forced myself to complete the 4 km run.

Now in the evening I've been finishing up some initial testing, and tomorrow I'll put the changes into audit and auditd, and see if it works.

It is nice when the US has public holidays, since I can work on my pet projects, as no one is bugging me about what I really should be doing...

Antiquarius

Last weekend was lucky enough to be able to take Miss Rio de Janeiro out on a date to Antiquarius, one of Rio's best restaurants, which is located in Leblon (Rua Aristides EspĂ­nola 19, in case you are passing by).

To be honest, it wasn't Miss Rio and it wasn't a date, it was my girlfriend and we celebrated our six month anniversary, but I felt very privileged to have such a stunningly beautiful, intelligent and witty lady at my table.

We started by having a Cosmopilitan, and it was the best Cosmopolitan I've ever had. While drinking it, we nibbled on loads of delicious appetisers, which the waiters kept refilling all the time. The service was excellent! Very discrete, sincere and friendly waiters.

For main course we both had fish, and for such an upscale restaurant the portions were very large. She had salmon and I had cod, which is a Portuguese speciality, and I could almost not finish mine. We finished off the meal with two delicious desserts, passion fruit cake and home made pistachio ice cream together with strong Brazilian coffee.

It was a very memorable night, even if we ate so much that we were almost unconcious in the taxi back home.
