Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up, mail; apparently the useful kernel ioctl for getting good disk layout information: FIBMAP is only available as root (urgh), strange, the xfsctl equivalent is (rumour has it) available to all [ some great input from Stewart Smith ].
Sufficiently irritated by treacle-like performance of mail moving in evo in 10.3 to dig into the code / trace: some silly around tree view management.
Got my new year's Objectives into the relevant tool - at last I know what I'm doing (or do I ?). Pleased with the interest in the gnome-menus work, but sadly no time to fix all the breakage. It will be a great data-point for my "OO.o is no longer slow" spiel as/when I have the guts to write it.
Nice, the configmgr refactor just got approved by QA, thanks to Stefan, and Joerg Sievers. Went into an orgy of expense filing - good, clean, tiresomeness: only an hour or so. Got fed-up enough with evo. to create a patch & submit it, failing building it ...
Out to watch H. swimming in the afternoon while J. prepared the huge thanksgiving meal for cell group this evening (Julie is our token American lady, giving us this excuse).
Back, feeling a little ropey; huge meal, turkey coming out of the ears, great to catch up with Pete & Shelly & their vetinary problems: foot & mouth, bluetongue, avian flu etc. Bed late, feeling bad.
