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.

- More UVC setup, poked mail, chased a gtkhtml2 issue:
filed with a valgrind log. Battled X - my Ati FireGL flickers the
external crt1 (only) as I press keys or move the mouse - amazing:
fought it for a while, before trying to persuade another Intel
card, then another Ati card to drive the 1920x1200 beast sensibly.
- Nick over for lunch. Then trying to get
X -query foo to
work - gdm reports WARNING: gdm_xdmcp_handle_manage: Failed
to look up session id random-number - irritating in
the extreme.
- Long call with Patrick & co. Back to work in the
evening. Interestingly, metacity (once you fix the assumption that
because the local machine has the latest composite extension, the
remote X server must too) works rather better via remote X to my
Ati RageXL, than it does locally, amazing. Discovered my screen
corruption was prolly down to a (now fixed) bug in the Damage
impl. in older fglrx drivers.
- Alex wanted to read my vtreloc patches (
binutils,
glibc,
gcc)
of course, not finished yet. Managed to remove the 'stable-x86'
pieces that had mangled my system, and get back to a more
reasonable state, albeit without the latest evolution (sadly).
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.
