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.

- Poked at E-mail. Dug painfully at the binutils stuff,
re-enabled the reloc sorting - must be related to having the dynstr
be the input order, which is the reloc order [ for my big mixed
vtable sample ]. Sorting the relocs by (elf_hash % elf_hash_table)
goes from a 20% performance loss (vs. no change) to a 24ms -> 16ms
(30%) win, nice. Of course the example is still somewhat contrived,
testing with libsvx, & some libvcl dependents shows that it's
a real-world win too. Re-compiling all of OO.o with sorting.
- Impressed by the latest
SIL work integrating Graphite into OO.o.
- Great review comments from Owen, re-worked the
GMainContext patch needed for ORBit2. A chunk of binutils patch
polishing, paranoid now, ran the regression tests, cleaned &
shrunk the
changes etc. Some hacking on a cut-down factory startup /
splash app.
- Out to see The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe in
the evening - it pays to have not read the book beforehand - 7/10.
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.
