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 at 8am; mail pokeage; printed my approved expense
report - it's not clear why someone of Citrix/IE/CUPS/Epson insist on
chopping the RHS (including all the numbers) off the side of the claim;
signed another essentially blank piece of paper & sent it off.
- Back to binutils patch cleanup, created a self-contained
test harness for it; backed up the laptop. Posted
test harness, numbers and patch to binutils@ - braced myself for being
completely ignored again; still this time it has the merit of
accelerating even prelink via it's conflict resolution. Stopped
pouring over the
readelf -s -W -D -I foo.so output.
- Couple of hours off: lunch, packed everything up, got
it into the car, set too hacking in the back - H. taking some
adjusting to being in the front without pressing all manner of
buttons etc. Disconnected.
- Discovered that by accident my test case is a highly
pathalogical case due (presumably) to limitations in the elf hashing
algorithm; added more entropy to the symbol names; then sorting
makes it slower - most strange; seems people are right to completely
ignore me; updated list / poked at something else for a while.
- Dinner with the family. Talk with David Wheeler -
capital guy.
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.
