<p>It's been a long time, a long hiatus. Getting back, though,
currently updating the support for <a href=
"http://openvms.org/">OpenVMS</a>, with some help from two VMS
folks out there that play with boxes I don't have (incidently, if
someone has an Itanium running <a href=
"http://openvms.org/">OpenVMS</a> to spare, I'll gratefully accept
it ;-)).</p>
<p>It's a slow start, and there is no 64 bit support yet, although
it's been asked for. There's a separate branch in CVS (yeah
<em>cough</em> we're still there) for it though, and it requires a
bit of work still.</p>

OpenSSL commercial support!http://journal.richard.levitte.org/entries/openssl-commercial-support/2009-06-25T14:32:22Z2009-06-25T14:32:22Z
<p>The following was announced earlier today:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You may have noticed that our <a href=
"http://openssl.org">website</a> has a new look. That's because
we've finally set up a proper legal structure to handle, in a more
formal way, the sponsorship and consultancy support that sustains
the OpenSSL project. Such financial support is important because
some of us spend a large amount of time maintaining OpenSSL
(unpaid) and rely entirely on ad-hoc consultancy work as a source
of income.</p>
<p>The mission of the OpenSSL team has not changed one bit, though
we are hoping that more financial support will enable more of us to
spend more time maintaining, improving and extending OpenSSL. The
software will continue to be available under a free and
commercially friendly license and we will continue to provide
support through the mailing lists. In fact we hope to provide even
better community support as we are able to spend more time focusing
on OpenSSL instead of paying the bills.</p>
<p>OpenSSL is widely used in commercial software products and for
years now we have been approached by some of those commercial
vendors to provide specific consulting services. The lack of a
formal OpenSSL entity to perform the usual business functions has
made that process harder than it needed to be. If you're a
commercial vendor using OpenSSL and desiring assistance from the
people who live and breathe OpenSSL every day, give us a call.
We'll help you solve your specific OpenSSL related problems and you
can improve and support the OpenSSL community at the same time.</p>

Cutting down on activity...http://journal.richard.levitte.org/entries/cutting-down/2010-11-02T14:56:27Z2005-10-11T05:02:11Z
<p>OK, it's decision time. It's obvious that the amount of
activities I've had lately came with consequences. I'm hardly at
home before late most of the week days, I've a hard time making
time to be with Eva, let alone take care of my own home. It's just
too damn much, and generally deteriorating.</p>
<p>So, I've decided to take a break from the <a href=
"http://www.rmk.org/" title="choir">choir</a>. Yes, I know, I was
all excited a year ago, but the way things look right now, it's a
luxuary I can't uphold anymore, if I want to stay healthy.</p>
<p>I'm also going to cut down on the time I spend at <a href=
"http://www.stacken.kth.se/" title="Stacken">Stacken</a> unless I
can find a way to stay in focus with <a href=
"http://www.netcrypto.org/common/">the</a> <a href=
"http://ctwm.free.lp.se/">stuff</a> I <a href=
"http://www.venge.net/monotone/">work</a> <a href=
"http://www.openssl.org/">on</a>. I could, for example, only appear
every second week...</p>
