Nerd rant in two parts.

Part the First

So it looks like I was a little too quick in my announcement that my mserv-alike to the world. It still flings a little too much poo for people who are not me to handle. Also, the mserv guy has resumed development. So I'm considering just writing a AIM->mserv frontend. Seems like a bit of a waste, but the new mserv can handle oggs and can put out shoutcast streams, so it seems silly to keep doing my thing.

Except it really *should* be a for-real SQL database. So I will probably end up using twisted or something to separate out my IM code from my Jukebox code. Right now they are a little too entangled. And then I'll keep on pluggin with my thing. When gstreamer moves into stable, I'll use that. But for now, I'm pretty happy.

Part the second

So, SCO has upped the ante in this whole "Linux hackers stole our code". They now claim that over 1,000,000 lines of code were stolen. So. I downloaded the latest version of the linux kernel source and ran the following tests:

peter@Soy:~/tmp$ find . -name '*.[ch]' -exec cat {} \; | grep -v '^$' | wc -l
4528538
peter@Soy:~/tmp$ find . -name '*.[ch]' -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
5183735

Which means that SCO is now claiming that SCO owns over 20% of all code in the kernel. Now that it's gotten ridiculous, I finally feel like the charges are definitely unsubstantiated fluff. That's a relief.
