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 for a two hour conf-call / Evo PRD review. Decided now
is the best time to switch to the new 200Gb disk Calvin sent me: got the
USB / SATA thing setup, transfered most of the data; then foolishly switched
disks without getting grub as happy as it could be. Protracted hours of
re-booting, re-configuring grub, trying to work around the cunning
chatty (device-specific) device names
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA<essay here>-part1etc.
Eventually installed 11.0 Alpha2 and set off an update to factory.
- Knocked up a response to Charles & Cor's concerns during the
update while suffering some very curious X server bugs. Pleased and encouraged
by Eike's
interpretation of the (still un-announced) SCA exemption rubric. Still
puzzled as to how this agreement can be effective yesterday when the most
important piece of it (to OO.o) is missing, but perhaps I'm just too eager
to see the detail.
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.
