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.

Back to work, poked mail. Set off a build of the latest layout
work from Janneke, annoyed by helpex performance (building 8-way with
icecream it bites). Seems to do 3 system calls per line read from a
300k line file, a million sys-calls here & there - but where
is it slow ? Made the code 40% faster but realised that the real
system hit is from the well-known ext3 / page write-back / sync
evilness; and the fact we generate 100's of Mb of output file,
bother.

Lunch, Nick came over, chat with Guy, OO.o team meeting, call
with Florian, call with Guy. Out to Alpha in the evening.
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.
