It is funny how quickly one forgets things one used intensively in the past. I guess the old brain has a limited capacity in its fast cache.
Anyway, Ubuntu artful, nice looking OS. Bit of a hump getting used to GNOME after Unity, but it is fun to be playing with it again.
I need to add some tracing to the composite/gadget USB stack to see why a product working correctly, ah, the old days!

Can you explain this a bit more? Is this part of the kernel? a kernel-mode driver you are talking about?

Yes, the composite code is built into the kernel, the gadget modules are loadable kernel modules.
I need to mod the kernel config to output printk to a USB tty port, then I can pick it up on another machine with Putty.
So I need to rebuild composite.c and some of the gadets with printks in them to see where the errors are. So I need the 17.10 kernel source, mod it, build it, install it, then it should be just a case of modprobing the gadget driver to load it.
Kind of fun really, like coming across an old diary which reminds you of what you were doing years ago.

Nice. At times I voluntarily go across borders to work with other teams just to brush up my old skills. Yup it's fun.
Linux internals has been one of my long term dreams. At least wishing to know the kernel basics. Hope I'd learn them some time.

Pull a distro down, install it, grab the source, build it, and install your built kernel.
Then start playing with it. Custom building it, see how small you can get it, do some live debugging with kgdb etc.

Gnome isn't bad at all, as long as you're cozy hopping over to BASH for the serious work. I like it a lot more than the recent KDE offerings.

Hi All,
Quick update on yesterday...He is gone! he was on his last chance people were unhappy at the ammount of 'help' he required to do his assigned task. Too cap it all he was caught using the company network to mine a crypto currancy. I caught him using a port scanner to find an unused connection  ... we need a I give up emjo.

You can't do stuff like that???
What'll be the next? That's it's not ok to use the company network to download pirated pr0n anymore?

Well the thing is not to think you know more than the sys admins who are watching your connection after previous sillyness...

Pirate pr0n? Arrr!

I had to Google that.
Please don't tell me why you know about that - I don't want to know!

Do you mean the rule or its implications?

A related corollary - xkcd has likely covered it and they have.

I also knew some of such people. Sometimes their bad behaviour is only "the tip of the iceberg" 
Press F1 for help or google it.

He sounds like the poster boy for the "Legalize Blacklisting of (ex)-Workers" movement.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's not just a bad apple. I'd say he's a downright ROTTEN apple!
