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, breakfast with J', chewed mail. Committed
the gnome-vfs fix. Ploughed away at nautilus large directory
performance, hmm. Lovely lunch, J's shortbread again - good
stuff.
- Still poking for the non-linearity in nautilus large
directory handling, found something gob-smacking, seemingly
gnome-vfs re-parses the mime database every ~5 seconds of use,
which can force a re-render of all nautilus windows. If that
takes near 5 seconds, then we have less and less time before the
next re-parse to do real work in. Wow, Jody got onto it.
- Dave pointed out a particularly nasty bonobo ref
counting bug thrown up by the recent multi-head work. Spent a
while fixing that.
- J' arrived home, out for a run - had dinner. Myriam
came around, nice to see her before she goes to Australia on
mission. Exciting news about a new man - Nathaniel. Bed late.
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.
