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.

Read mail; it seems the lazy-web came up trumps in the
form of Marius Gedminas's explanation for my conundrum with
mov (%si), %ax
affecting the inc %si; jnz test loop. It appears that
if you try to read a word at 0xffff ie. across the segment
boundary you get a SEGV, which often just spins - a satisfying answer
at least. Seemingly Robert Forsyth also came up with the answer, nice.

Got the latest skype beta; apparently it uses pulseaudio
properly - which is all good, sucking un-fixable proprietary software,
but sadly necessary.
-
Lots of architraving got cut to size and fixed, and more doors
arrived on their hinges. OO.o team meeting, and PM meeting.
-
Chatted to Thomas and Robert, both in Boston - Thomas suddenly
ill poor soul; later it turned out in all the excitement some
unidentified child had been filling my mobile 'hello-phone' with water;
no torx screwdriver bit of the correct size to disassemble it either:
drat.
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.
