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.

H. ill still, prodded mail; found the missing link in
my incremental win32 (server 20078rc2) build, and suspended/aborted
a few scp2 builds. Turns out that is a bad idea - ended up with a file
in the (local)
file-system un-owned by anyone; and totally resistant to deletion /
movement even by the administrator: "You do not have permission to
view this object's security policies, even as an administrative user" -
apparently re-booting is the canonical solution to this problem; ho
hum. The moral is clear: pray harder before building, and/or don't
kill processes when they are busy creating files (or something).
-
Salivated briefly over an Herringbone Geared
Extruder design, and back to mail and build testing.

Lunch; amused to get a translation of my paper on the problems
with Copyright Assignment from Paul Bukhovko into Belorussian,
fun.
-
Corporate conf call; Jared's staff, more wrestling with the
nastiness in make_installer.pl until 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.
