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 in the night, thumping cold, can't sleep. Increasingly
disillusioned with perl's SmallProf - methinks it lies unhelpfully.
Switched to
-d:DProf instead which looks saner. Found
and fixed some really dumb algorithm taking 10 seconds, ~25% faster,
good - it's still amazing to me how slow perl regexps (even
pre-compiled) can be.
-
Mail; knocked off for breakfast, took H. to school, parents
arrived - feeling pretty dead, talked to them for a while, nice to
see them. More mail, lunch. Got a build of the latest ooo-build
going nicely, committed misc. fixes.
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.
