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 at six, for mens prayer breafast at Church; to work early.
Mail prodding, dug at a strange gnome settings daemon issue around
multi-monitor bits for Federico. Signed the iPad DRM petition -
great to seem them raising the profile of that there.
-
Switched from ureadahead back to my hacked up sreadahead - it
seems (despite being rather dumber) to be faster; why I have no idea,
prolly some mis-interaction with my kernel.
-
Amused by Avatar
(The making of the bootleg), some great advertising.
-
Prodded hal - still taking too long to start in my book; it
seems to enjoy parsing the 600k, 18k line
/usr/share/pci.ids
file, for me it does it 23 times on startup - seems we need a 23 entry
persistent cache for another 2x speed win.
-
Limbo'd in H's roof-space, trying to get bits of insulation,
hardboard, and chip-board, and myself through an extremely small door,
into a very small hole. It all brings back the reason why you pay builders
in the first place to do [sic] the job for you.
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.
