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.

- To work, poked at mail, updated some bugs - with
screenshots to beautify. Started doing a number of timing
tests, it seems Linux is doing better than I expected, at least
on my Desktop machine. Took a lot of measurements, drew some
graphs etc.
- It's pretty astounding that OO.o on Win32 takes
13 seconds to cold start, where MSWord takes ~3 seconds; in
fact Word can cold-start quicker than we can warm-start, a
little depressing. I wonder if any good (free) profiling
tools exist on Win32, to see if there is something particularly
dim we're doing, that we could avoid.
- Knocked off for dinner, putting the babes to bed,
good to see Janine & kids, dinner with Mum. An hour of
training NTS on OO.o 8:30 onwards, J. out at a Bible study.
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.
