When creating the 2.1 tag in git, Simon ‘corecode’ Schubert also auto-created a message showing every commit ever, grouped by committer, with the first line of each commit. Reading through it provides an interesting look at what particular itch different people have scratched with DragonFly, over the years. (Also available as a plain count.)

I was very fortunate enough to get a Casio Fiva MCP-205 given to me in 2000. I’ve used this laptop for years. I built Mozilla on it once, and melted the frame around the LCD! This resulted in a new warning in the Mozilla build instructions. Since Casio is a Japanese company, and I got this as the result of my contacts in Japan at the time, my news of melting the Fiva spread like wild fire there. Recently, when I was in Tokyo for AsiaBSDCon people were asking me about it.I’ve been using this laptop to do background builds, as a mobile terminal, firewire debugging platform, etc since I got it. Recently, i had put the laptop on the shelf. I’d not used it in the past 6 months or so for a variety of reasons. Last night I thought I’d give it a spin again, since I need a nice mobile platform. Sadly, while it was in storage the screen was cracked. I cannot get any text on the screen at all. I don’t have the VGA cable so I could keep this laptop around as a server, since there’s no console access. I cannot find an LCD to replace it, but I imagine that it would be expensive. More expensive than a modern netbook, which would be better for the FreeBSD project anyway…
It is sad to see this laptop give up the ghost. Every time I used it, I was reminded of the good times in Japan. I’ll hang onto the laptop for a little while on the off chance I can turn up a replacement LCD, but I fear it is dead.
