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, still feeling ill but motivation returned,
J. starting to succumb. Poked mail. It appears we forgot to turn
on --hash-style=both for OO.o in SL10.2 - the irony of having
done all the work, but accidentally not enabled it. Still, we do
turn on -Bdirect so should still be faster than others.
- Found/fixed an irritating navigator icon transparency
issue in draw/impress.
- Still interviewing for
these OO.o hacking positions - still several open. Sharp
applicants without OO.o experience most welcome; mail me.
- It appears that configmgr / GroupNode traversal is
rather expensive: lots of string compares per element, and most
traversal is effectively linear:
| setup | group name compares |
|---|
| default | 297,491 |
| 1 element cache | 154,409 |
| 1 elem + check next | 91,740 |
Hopefully that'll shrink the profile. Committed the 1st
cut to configrefactor01; next step - substantially simplifying
the locking.
- Coleen, Ethan & Anna around for dinner, lots of
small people running around & messing about. J. to bed early,
feeling ill.
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.
