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.

To work, call with Fridrich, prodded mail and code changes,
tried to work out when I need to be at work for misc. meetings during
my vacation (Monday until Jan 5th). Long conf-call in the morning,
booked vacation. Up-loaded Bernhard's nice new download icons to the
website.
-
Lunch, poked my cygwin
mv dir1 dir2 dir3 newdir
command - still running after four hours; it has somehow managed to
move only 850 files, all to the same partition / drive; magic, sigh.
-
Prodded at scp2 stuff and make_installer.pl with Fridrich,
Tor, Petr & Rene until late. Amazed that pre2par.pl took 55
seconds for a simple file on my fast laptop; to turn two ~1000 line
files into a 25k line file; turns out it was doing endless re-parsing
of both of them. Cleaned, shrunk the code, now it takes two seconds
the net compile time of scp2/ went from 11m54 secs to under 3 minutes
for identical output. Meanwhile the lads got Windows help-packs
building beautifully - great news. Discussed a vcl re-factor with
Norbert, seems my vtable slot counter is useful after all.
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.
