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, Owen explained .Xdefaults to me,
apparently we set some X resources now so, we don't use
the defaults at all; apparently using .Xresources instead
is the right way to go.
- Brian posted his nice patch for knocking 15%
off of Nautilus startup time (sillies in) gnome-vfs.
Amazing that an essentially 2 line patch can have such a
nice effect.
- Discovered that Bastien had started work for
Red Hat - good stuff. Bill Haneman posted an 'entirely Blue'
theme - for testing a11y, you may wish to refresh your
memory of keybindings before running it.
- Stopped OO.o crashing during the showing of it's
pathalogical failure dialog; hmm, much more useful.
- Found that 'xwd' sucks for sets of multi-depth
windows on a display; but 'import' works nicely.
- J. home, went for a run - very aching ankles
though, more warming up required.
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.
