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 extremely early, off to work. Wrote up the
notes for Gordon's sermon.
- Had a long and constructive talk with Nat, great.
- Hammered on with UI shrinkage - looking very good,
hit a very strange problem, tried to use -lefence - hit an
even stranger problem in glibc's _IO_vfscanf, inside a macro
that gdb couldn't help me with that calls a macro that doesn't
appear to be defined anywhere: __libc_cleanup_end, will
mysteries never cease ? gack.
- Lauris found the libgnomeprint bug and is sorting
it out: excellent. Backport the UI speedups to bonobo 1.0 so we
can debug the thing - looking nice, very nice in fact, 100Kb
saved for the somewhat simple test-ui test program. Lots more
for Nautilus / Evolution one hopes - faster too. Still some
minor issues to clean though.
- Alex committed his UI xml caching thing which
makes Nautilus new window creation 15% faster - also good.
- Played with libgnomeprint with no success.
- Back home.
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.
