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.

Re-read Lennart's Out Of Memory
(OOM) handling bloglet / link. I must say, I completely agree - but, I
think it is still worthwhile adding failed-malloc handling to glib for
two reasons: firstly, it is not hard to do for some methods, and adds no
real performance impact; and secondly - code duplication is worse
than bogus and irrelevant OOM handling, and not being able to handled
failed mallocs is frequently heard as an excuse to re-write working
code ( thus, incidentally also bringing OOM closer by having yet-another
linked-list, hash-table, etc. etc. implementation in hot memory ).

Hacked at bootchart2 a little, hugely improved the interactive
rendering speed by taking account of the visible area, rather than
relying on cairo to crop everything.

Phone interview, admin. Prodded at a new recovery enabled mbr
for a different vendor,
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.
