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, mail checkage; a slew of bogus
candidacy announcements and some interesting ones; posted
mine to add to the mix.
- Updated eel and nautilus, lots of fixes,
re-built. Sent a plea to the Gtk+ team for debug shutdown
routines to help squash leaks easily. Federico committed his
keystroke forwarding fixes ( the design of which is neccessarily
utterly horrible ); did a new bonobo-1.0.15 release.
- Committed my at-spi code, Bill gave me carte
blanche to code clean too, great. Isolated the glibc regex
bug with electric fence; another masterpiece of convolution:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <regex.h>
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
regex_t regex;
regcomp (®ex, "AUTHORS", REG_EXTENDED | REG_NOSUB);
return 0;
}
link vs. efence and ... bang.
I have glibc-2.2.2-10 (RH 7.1), it seems the bug
is fixed by glibc-2.2.4-19 (RH 7.2).
- Found a load of rather unbelievable bugs in GtkPlug,
only for the in-proc case. Rather strange, with the fixes I get
the forward and back buttons in the Nautilus toolbar at least.
- J' arrived home, toast & off to Bible study group
at Todd's house - Peter & Karen took us there with their
georgeous baby belted securely in his baby seat. A long, but
interesting study, and nibbles afterwards. Home late, bed.
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.
