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.

Still, still no baby, Ann came for a mid-wifely visit, no particular
conclusions yet. More prodding at beagle related I/O metric generation.
Interleaved that with some more attempts to get DRI working, after poking in
the debugger at some length to work out why
R500 support requires a newer
drm. - I actually read the drm readme, and discovered make
install needs running in linux-core as well as the
top-level (obviously).
-
DRI success on my RV530 (M56GL) - but only as far as 'glxgears',
compiz seems to wedge the X server, and gdb crashed on attach; bother.
Finally got to E-mail, also started logging my desktop I/O usage to see
how it looks during the day & do some number crunching on that.
Popped into the KDE team meeting.

Pleased with the chart anti-aliasing caused by Radek's nice EMF+
rendering patches; disk stats over a ~three minute period of normal desktop
use:
The question is - when should beagle start and stop indexing the latest file
data ? I'm sure some algorithmic genius, such as Morten knows the answer;
and/or if you play my disk activity backwards as audio: does it contains
some hidden message: answers on the back of a post-card.
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.
