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 at 3am, plagued by ORBIT2_MT, had a nice idea
for solving some difficulties. Fixed some particularly stupid
sillies, implemented my cunning intelligent idle thread
transferring unreffing scheme (sounds complicated) - it worked.
Good. Of course, unless it can get in 2.2 it's not so useful,
but ...
- Sorry to find Federico in bit of a jam, familywise,
hopefully they'll get everything straightened out soon.
- Talked to Owen about vte performance, and general
Gtk+ performance for off-screen apps, tried to encourage using
the 'visibility' notification to stop re-rendering things
(pwrt. the double buffering) when they're not visible - should
be a nice speedup for lots of apps.
- Back to bed, slept in for a while. Up at 11, to
battle, fixed several smb: bugs, fixed several nasty packaging
problems, more gui polish, finally getting somewhere.
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.
