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 too early; light breakfast in the dimly lit lounge.
Wandered off to the CENELEC centre. Met a load of interesting people;
most of them MS or associates/partners. Brian Jones from MS seems a
sharp guy, looking forward to getting to grips with some real issues
after the general logistics / hype / overviews.
- Lunch with the Office guys & Philip the Apple
iSomethingOrOther guy, interesting. Lots of rubrick talk - looking
around the room: it's great that lots of the people are young &
hsharp on the TC - or - I'm getting old & slow.
- One thing that's still incomprehensible is the reason
behind the cognitive dissonance: 'Office Open XML' vs. 'Open Office
XML'. To try to get stable measurements of my symbol re-ordering
speedup, ran several parallel runs of 100s of dlopens; 15us of 370us
saving, only 4% (though only a few of libvcl's deps re-linked sorted).
Split the (small) diff out; if only qsort had a closure parameter.
Hopefully, sorting the relocs by elf hash will improve things.
- Yet more extraordinarily uninteresting discussion about
'reflectors' apparently mailing lists got a synonymn while I wasn't
paying attention.
- Back to the hotel with Ellen & Per, on to a lovely
meal, got to know a number of the guys better - back to the Hilton Bar
until late with Brian & Carly, Sean, Philip, Jan.
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.
