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; dog tired, didn't sleep well,
sucked mail. Lots of tedious mail chewage. Added
extern "C" to the libole2 headers so I wouldn't get
more dumb mails from C++ developers with link
problems.
- Got the class boilerplate macros setup
more to my liking. Did a bonobo-1.0.16 release with
Federico's BadMatch fix, and the re-enterancy fix.
- Bill replied; sigh. Fixed up some
sillyness with the setFrame / getWindowId thing so
we actualy pair the control and it's frame at a
sane time; makes Nautilus happy again. Stubbed
the new popup API as per gcl spec.
- Finally by much devious trickery, managed to
get the broken Nautilus-2.0 scrolled window to render some
icons on the desktop; excellent, looks good. Sadly, a total
hack. Built some libbonoboui tests to try and find the
root problem.
- Responded to allegations of "Bonobo UI
keeps breaking" ( interestingly about bonobo-1.0 ),
it seems Dan Winship has discovered that our 'sigsegv'
handler that does odd things in threaded contexts is
likely to have been giving broken stack traces which
is interesting.
- Tried to calm Maciej down on the freeze.
It seems the board have over-reacted, and demanding a
harder freeze for things higher up the tree than those
lower is madness. Copied over the bonobo docs to
libbonobo and libbonoboui John Fleck wants to get to
work.
- Started re-building glib / gtk+ from the
bottom upwards; slowly ... committed various ORBit2
updates I noticed kicking around. Fixed up libgnome
so it builds with the latest set of accelerator API
breakage.
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.
