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.

- Looked at the 64 .server files b-a-s reads on startup,
seems like at least 25 are easy to fold into others: be nice to get
a 40% seek redux. Poked at B8 with Jan wrt. an OO.o / 2nd starter
silly.
- Fixed the fpicker multiselect problems, committed a
patch, more from-clean build testing required. Filed expenses:
time consuming; why not loan hundreds of pounds to your employer ?
- Re-wrote b-a-s's object-directory-load to use GMarkup
instead of libxml2 [ we don't use the power of XML there ],
performance from 110m cycles to 40m (of course callgrind
pseudo-cycles), committed to HEAD.
- Out for a run - a little more bracing than normal:
hail. Dinner, J. out to Bible study; poked at this & that,
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.
