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, sucked mail very slowly. Tried to
re-build glib/pango/atk/gtk+ going well, until a screwup in
gtkiconfactory - reverted to the release version & it
was fine. Wrote a status report for last week.
- A whole forest of bug reports in the mail, sigh
looked through them all. Darin seemed reasonably happy with
my proposed control lifecycle re-write, which is nice. But
didn't understand my decisions behind BonoboObject it seems.
- Onto the Control re-write in earnest, made it
more Java friendly, followed the IDL naming convention
properly, lots of oneway efficiency wins. Code looking
smaller and nicer.
- Beavered away removing inefficient signal
handlers and using cleaner virtual methods instead all
over the shop. Fixed a poa bug in the ORB. Darin had more
helpful input on the issues, great. Maciej still failing
to grasp the need for a shutdown fn in bonobo-activation;
sigh.
- J' arrived home, tried to concentrate on the
various styles of invitation she is pondering - instead of
her herself that is. Went for a run.
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.
