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, J' must see the doctor and things
today. Pulled mail, went to the doctor with J' and had a
nice chat with her, droppped J' off in Cambridge.
- Back to the action, polishing up / testing the
various nautilus bits ... addressed some annoying bugs,
like the sidebar swallowing the whole view, got the
throbber to play ball more. Discovered the sidebar / paned
was re-sizing too often causing spurious redraws / layouts.
- Committed the bonobo-activation multi display
fix, and then the nautilus changes, encouraging to see
lots of other work from Darin, Alex and Anders on update.
Nautilus also looks very funky in Japanese, lots of
squiggles, rather fun.
- Plugged away at 'at-poke' my new at-spi based
accessibility validation tool. Interesting writing a
GtkTreeModel. Sucked mail, about 30 bugs just arrived in
my mailbox - all the oaf ones; bother - how ever did that
happen. Checked in a carefully non-functional version of
at-poke, just in case.
- J' returned home very late and very happy, I'm
so pleased with her and we're so blessed. Things need
confirming before announcing though. Couldn't stop
grinning.
- Drove her back to Hove, motorway clear,
driving easy - discovered how to tilt the (power assisted)
wing mirrors from the control on the door handle [ and
I always that that was for targetting missiles ].
- Home, dinner, 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.
