Another week.

• BSDCan 2014 will have the BSD Professional Certification exam available (as beta)
• “The Design And Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System” second edition, is up for pre-order.  (comments are rude/funny.)
• The DiscoverBSD summary for 2014/03/31.
• The PC-BSD Digest 24.
• reop, an follow-up from OpenBSD’s signify
• The FreeBSDNews link roundup.
• Michael W. Lucas follows up on a prank with a description of how to get a BSD convention going.
• Peter N. M. Hansteen wants feedback on his BSDCan tutorials.
• Joystick support always sounds like a good idea.
• The Playstation 2 is back as a NetBSD platform.
• Turn partitions into disk images on FreeBSD.
• You can possibly create x86 USB images with NetBSD.  (you couldn’t before?)
• NetBSD imported starsign, for signing data.  Since it’s an external program, I tried searching for its origin… Google failed spectacularly, with astrology links galore.
• NetBSD also added dust, which appears to be a sensible utility.  (Update: both this and starsign apparently written by Alistair Crooks.)
• I didn’t know serial ports could go this fast.
• pkgsrc-2014Q1 is out.
• Pkgsrc is looking at signing packages, too.
• Some conversation about building machines with a bunch of network ports.  From openbsd-misc, but probably applies across the board.
• Video of the April 1 NYCBUG presentation on random number generation is available.
