OK, it was pain before in 2004, but it turnes out that Planet-Lab is probably worse today. Took me the whole day together with a colleage to find out why Planet-Lab will behave totally different to "normal" Linux servers. The code was already hacked to work on Planet-Lab, but now I have to redo it tomorrow (an even uglier hack).
There's a lot going on and some friends are really nice to me recently (and I am ashamed I cannot find the time to realise all my idea I have in mind to give back some of the good things they do for me). I am working on it though, and also all the other "important things" I postponed will be done soon... ;)
