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 very early again; breakfast, bid goodbye to
Julia - I head off for LinuxTag this afternoon. Chewed mail,
fixed some nasties in gnome-vfs-extra's smb module. Piled
clothes together.
- Filled up Natzilla with the ORBit2 security
audit stuff, asked for advice on /tmp/orbit-$USER DOS
attack. Got a Jetlink to the airport, almost on-time.
- Discovered the flight is delayed from 16:34 to
19:10, suspicious, presumably under-subscribed, read the
Economist and the Private Eye, got onto ORBit2.
- Fixed a nasty deadlock, and started adding
hooks for automated testing / random data corruption in
the GIOP code. Discovered the ORB leaking connections in
a way that only GOBJECT_DEBUG=objects would show you, fixed
it.
- Met a Chineese American on the train platform,
train delayed by 25 minutes - German efficiency - only 25
minutes instead of 2:30.
- Got to the hotel at 1.00am; slept like a log.
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.
