On two different CDRWs, I received lots of errors like:

acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR

when attempting to do a FreeBSD 6.0 upgrade. The extractions were failing. I switched to a CDR (not read-write) and it then appeared to work. Burning the CDRW didn't seem to indicate any problems, but it did happen with two different disks. (I also tried another CDR and it worked too.)

Started working on building OpenBSD's src/usr.sbin/httpd on Linux, but will have to look at this later as I don't have time. Some of the portability code was ripped-out (such as Apache's own md5 and using crypt.h, etc.). I need to test with nbcompat.

Yellow "paper" light flashing on my Brother HL-51050D. Opened back door and saw too pages folded up. So that means jammed I guess. I had pressed Cancel and second job started printing shortly later. (This job was already in Brother's memory.)
