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; J. very bouncy for a monday morning.
Got to work, evolution died with the new RH libdb, poked
for a while before symlinking libdb2.so.3 to libdb.so.2,
ugly.
- Depressingly few people available at ~2 weeks
notice for meetings, sigh - inefficiencies and delays all
around.
- Did some linc/ORBit2 releases for Gnome 2.0.3,
but couldn't upload them, dead server. Updated packages all
over the shop; Havoc has (mercifully) fixed the metacity
desktop foo, which is great.
- Started getting some beautiful memory corruption,
turned off '-w' (show no warnings) in the 'sal' compile,
discovered a slew of issues in my code. OO.o doesn't run well
with electric fence LD_PRELOADED.
- Found the issue, doh a typical 'in' == 'out'
parameter bug; started to genericize my pile of evil hacks.
- Went for a nice run; stretching beforehand really
helps a lot. JPs, J. guitar practice (rather good), bed early.
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.
