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 shockingly early: 8.00am, snowing - hmm.
- More libbonobo hacking, the tests are starting to pass,
always nice to have regression tests.
- Steamed into various gnome 2 related tasks, stripped out
a load of ugly creeping nastiness when I discovered G_BEGIN/END_DECLS.
- Got libbonobo to build nice and cleanly, got libgnome to
build similarly, removed extraneous libgnomebase dependency from
libgnomecanvas, and made that build sweetly - on a campaign to fold
libgnomebase back into libgnome.
- In case it's useful to get pango to work with the
canvas' freetype stuff I did:
downloaded the Windows 3.1 fonts from www.microsoft.com.
Unzipped them all:
find -name '*.exe' -exec unzip -o {} \;
Then followed
this
did an rpmfind xfstt, and installed.
copied pango/examples/pangoft2.aliases to ${prefix}/etc/pango
and created a ${prefix}/etc/pangorc file containing:
[PangoFT2]
FontPath = /usr/share/fonts/truetype:/usr/share/fonts/ttf
- Off to 'Drinking culture' for an evening of fun,
refused to serve me alcohol - hmm.
- Chatted to various people - loads of people there,
company bought dinner, Natchos - excellent [ I have become addicted
to them ].
- Bed early, super tired - 10.00 or something.
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.
