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 early, dug through Oracle's amended complaint vs. Google,
sad; wrote a bit about it. Very encouraged to see Kay's nice eight
second full-boot chart using systemd.
-
Dug into a strange dependency problem - that magically
compiles files not mentioned in the makefile in some cases. Lunch.
Started prodding at the migration code, some most interesting code
It is amazing what we do in the SEGV
handler - taking locks, writing the document out etc. sadly of course
a SEGV can happen at an inconvenient place - such that even calling
pthread_cond_signal or somesuch can cause deadlock if the
condition
is locked - as used to happen to Mono sometimes before it was fixed some years ago.
-
Dug through the wife's mind wrt. charity law, good to have
an on-hand expert.
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.
