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 rather early; bid 'bye to the lovely wife &
babes. Set off on the train. Hacked GMarkup a tad, made it
another chunk faster by avoiding a couple of allocations per
element and attribute, now ~35% faster, and more to come.
-
Knocked up some in-place un-escaping logic, and
callgrind reports an overall 45% win, good. Ran over the
nice, simple regression test suite, looking good, somewhat
reduced quality error reporting but - seems reasonable.
-
Watched misc. movies on the plane, the latest Cohen
Brothers' Burn After Reading seems to me a somewhat
scorching comment on the ethics of extreme positive thinking,
interesting film.
-
Finally arrived, found the hotel, managed to persuade
the network to like me, filed my
gmarkup patch. Chat with Guy, Gary, JP. Bed early (for LA).
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.
