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 late, updated all the systems, discovered
there is still an evil bug lurking somewhere causing
the whole system to get trashed when it uses GConf.
Discovered that removing my 150Mb ~/.gconfd/saved_state
significantly helped matters.
- Thomas arrived home, lunch, listened to
'Lord of the Rings', fooled around with the Solaris
box to get things going, managed to compile ORBit -
horay, set about looking at the writev issues.
- Started OpenOffice to read a document,
realized it was somehat slow, and did an strace on the
process to see quite what it was doing, some interesting
findings posted to the open office developers, a few easy
wins in there.
- Entered all my Sun milestones into bugzilla,
to save writing daily status reports. Poked around at
the mail stack.
- 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.
