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, finished the package re-work, odd things
going on though, re-ran my massif measurements; got annoyed by the
lack of an aggregate 'maximum' heap metric; hacked that up.
- Very curious about massif's space-time output; having
optimised the piece that (apparently) burned 25% of the space-time,
and got it down to 10% or so - I see only a 4% win in the peak
heap space used; bother; I guess leaving the process to run in
the state you're interested in for a few minutes perhaps removes
some of these strange effects.
- Created a small test case - it seems massif managed
to generate a graph showing linearly increasing allocation during
a 30 second sleep; hmm. Started prodding memprof again - that's
the semantic & UI I want (if only it worked).
- Call with Tor, then with Jody, admin.
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.
