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, nearly next month; couldn't sleep, more
'writhings' (apparently). Hacked for a bit instead.
- Really got to grips with the socket re-sizing issues,
pulled some hairballs out of my socket wrapping code, and worked
round some inside GtkSocket.
- After fixing one issue, thought I'd introduced a major
performance problem, but turned out to be CDDBSlave2 chewing 100%
CPU, spent a while debugging that in-conclusively, filed a detailed
bug report.
- Nailed the nasty with in-proc, nautilus new windows so
no flicker now. Discovered that the nautilus adapter was blocking
the g_idle loop in the CORBA Persist load method, and thus stopping
the GtkPlug/Socket idle sizing code. Made the load method
asynchronous and everything was slick.
- Committed the nautilus bits, not so useful without my
pending EOG progressive loading stuff, but that's not quite good
enough yet. Found Tim Janik on-line, got his approval and committed
the GtkMenu fix.
- J' arrived home early and cut the grass, went for a
run, and suddenly realized that I was missing the release team
meeting; managed to speed back to catch the end.
- Jacket P's, 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.
