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 lateish, off into Cambridge for china shopping,
( beware of Bulls ). Met Sean and Abbie for lunchlet, got a DVD
of The Matrix from Sean. Home, tried to get the machine to play
it, with some success.
- After struggling with Xv(ideo) on my uber cheap SiS
graphics card, and upgrading to Threads
Linux 7.3. Looking nice. DVD replay still jerking badly,
turned on DMA (hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd), and things got nice and
smooth.
- Turns out to be difficult to re-direct the audio to
my laptop to play; bought a cheap Creative / Ensoniq Audio/PCI
card, sndconfig lies about it (apparently), but adding 'alias
sound-slot-0 es1371' to /etc/modules.conf seems to work fine [
oh and finding which hole to plug the speakers into helps ].
- Watched the movie in the evening - good. 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.
