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 early for a conf-call with China, fun. Prodded beagled a
little, more mail. Customer direct call from Kelvin, re-directed
through the UK sales organisation, fun. Wrote minutes.
-
Lunch, Lydia over - admired her latest pottery creations.
Back, Kelli's staff, quick calls with Stefan & Jeff. Bathed
the babes, practiced the Piano with H. (improving nicely), and
put them all to bed. Back to chat with Guy later in the evening.

It seems that a chunk of some people's problem with beagle
may well be it indexing source directories in ~ - just reading all
those deep hierarchies to grok source files that no-one in the
right mind would want in beagle anyway is likely to blow your
dentry and inode caches and may everything else appear 'slow'.
Hopefully just adding a way of detecting a source directory:
RCS files + Makefile ? and pruning them in their entirety
would work nicely. Of course personally I have no problems, I
hack in /opt (no idea why, it's prolly not LSB compliant).
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.
