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.

- Off to the dentist - amazingly nothing requiring
immediate, expensive surgery J. needs her first filling though: if
she goes on like this, 3 fillings might see her out.
- Back, fighting the gcc build now - I could swear this
used to be simpler, plugged on with it, the kindly Herr Matz reports
that
--disable-bootstrap is the solution, nice.
- Foolishly installed kdebase4 from stable-x86 to poke at
KWin - is my Composite oddness an X-server bug ? apparently, getting
kdebase4 required a newer OO.o and evolution. New evolution broken
on start, dug at the code - discovered a locking rats nest; poked
Srini / Psankar - perhaps fixing it will improve gwise stability
nicely.
- Poked Psankar, who it seems is interested in hacking on
iogrind - in his ITO, good
man. Found, fixed the evo. bug - and got my calendar back.
- Finally nailed down all the stupid glibc problems - really
working without any form of debugger at all is just exciting - doing
the vtable relocs nicely now: great.
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.
