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; down to work, read mail; lots going on. Merged
psankar's nice bootchart2 patch to do cumulative I/O rendering,
should be rather useful for all those I/O limited bootcharts.
-
Did some more size analysis of LibreOffice on Windows;
still lots of duplicated licenses, poked at a weirdo dependency
problem as well - missing duplicated filenames in a makefile
(sadly). Clarity.
-
Prodded at the .ott template files; we have 33Mb of zipped
files for all the languages, and we blow this up yet further by
duplication while building the installer to ~71Mb. Amusingly if you
unzip those files, and cat them together, we get 25Mb gzipped, or
2.3Mb (two point three) lzma'd, hmm, quite a jump.
-
Calls with JP, then Kendy & Thorsten, back to compression
research.
-
Installed openSUSE 11.3 on my reprap controlling netbook,
so I could build the latest version of repsnapper - its nice to
have the required software pieces; printed out a few PrusaMendel
pieces, though the slide bushings defeated me.
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.
