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, back-ported an ORBit2 fix for some non-glib
mainloop using gconf user. Dug through an embarassing number of
missed calendar appointments, broken unread count on that folder
in evo./IMAP/Netware; perhaps should switch to the SOAP interface;
discovered I should turn on 'Check for messages in all folders' in
the settings - hmm.
- Tried to get some reliable warm-start timings on SL10.0,
unfortunately there are such a large number of daemons chewing CPU
/ doing disk I/O intermittently etc. that ~500ms jitter is quite
normal. Set too installing an NLD10 alpha on my slow laptop;
unfortunately seems the CD drive doesn't like modern recordable
media much; used Threads Linux 9 to create the vital swap
partition, finally got the install going over http.
- Hacked up a small perl script that looks for genuine users
of interposing, or plugin-entry points; got some interesting results.
Managed to trash my tls/libc while removing old/stale stuff.
Got the NLD10 alpha's X server running on the ancient H/W
just as I quit for the evening.
- Sandy popped round in the evening, prayer triplet.
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.
