dot dot is dead

2 months and 2 days earlier, I arrived in Moscow for a new job
2 months and 0 days earlier, I watched CNN at 4:45pm, shocked
That day in 1821 Dostoyevsky was born
That day in 2001 I left Moscow for Amsterdam

In Russia those two months, I stayed at the apartments of Hans and Nina Reiser. Hans' company Namesys was developing a new file system. I had met Hans nine months earlier, in Berkeley, CA, at the Fat Slice Pizza on Telegraph Ave, to convince him he needed file system transactions, one of my favorite subjects.

In Amsterdam, I stayed at the bicycle hotel several days before flying home to California. I began writing xdelta3 in that hotel, those nights in Amsterdam, after much consideration of the proposed RFC 3284.

Nearly five years on, xdelta3 almost ready to release.
