Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.

- Up early; walked home, chewed mail; time for sleep,
didn't sleep, got enviegled by a pet project.
- It seems Richard Hult, Anders and Jonas (+some other guys?)
have started another exciting Gnome company CodeFactory or code_factory
for Owen, Maciej and Elliot :-)
- CVS down; extremely annoying indeed, development grinds
to a halt; time to sleep.
- Continued hacking evolution; with some camel and filter
hacks in place, my first procmail filter import works; whopee...
I begin to think the pain free upgrade path is just vital, so when
I've got it working I'll do a perl->C, whack it in the config dialog
and also import all your existing mail/* mboxes I think.
- Eat, exciting phone conversation with Miguel, lots of
great things on the hoof. Couldn't upload my activity log, it's all
down, and its 'Thanksgiving' [ although in the UK this is celebrated
on the day the Mayflower left ], so the Americans are all busy eating
ducks, chickens, orangotangs, gibbons and preserved pears, and not
paying attention to the important things in life, like gnome CVS.
- Downloaded an evil Lucent binary only winmodem driver;
perhaps it can save my bacon. Trying to use it locked the kernel
solid; I just love binary drivers. Luckily Hans Reiser saved the day
on the disk checking front. Re-built guppi3.
- CVS lives again ! mailed leak fix for oaf to Maciej,
started making up patches... Posted part of the evolution mail config
dialog fix, split out the filter / camel patch for procmail import.
- Talked to NotZed about my camel patch; got it badly
wrong, apologised profusely; it should be simpler now and no camel
changes needed.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
