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.

Prodded at the CUPS deadlock provoked by trying to print a
set of mendel assembly drawings: fun. It seems ghostscript and some
other process (magically renamed to the queue name) are both doing
blocking writes at each other (with full socket buffers): clever.
CUPS never ceases to amaze me.
-
Pulled all the latest SP1 test packages, to test the
latest fixes. Read about yet more linux kernel tracing / event
logging schemes. Amused to see that mmiotrace was created just
for Nouveau.
-
Read up on lttng, and some of the code - looks like
something rather sexy (except, that is) that apparently I need
to load some module, and then link a library - all to extract
some simple, low-frequency string data from 'open' syscalls;
seems like a non-starter.
-
Out for cell-group in the evening - a social dinner, fine
food, some Wii playing action etc. good fun, bed late.
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.
