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 at 4am, bother. Poked at slab performance again,
chopped
6% out of key-file parsing with a handful of lines. Poured over
the profile again, it seems gtk_size_group_add_widget is O(N*N) at
least and you can't do much about it by the way of freeze/thaw or
bulk addition: leading to 35k calls to queue_resize_on_widget, urk.
Apparently another 6% of the time is spent creating & populating
a context menu for each tile on construction instead of at
popup-time, sounds unnecessary.
- Tried unsuccessfully to sleep, surely tiredness is
tiring. Up early, chewed mail - clearly loosing vs. the inbox
recently.
- Breakfast, off to building 18 to meet Vijay, great to
understand his role a better. On to building 36 via building 35,
grief it's a big campus. Lunch with Chris, Dan & Brian.
Retired to Brian's office for some compiz & OO.o demos.
- Back to see Norm, sadly taken ill. Into town, up the
space needle - fine meal, back, bed early.
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.
