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.

- J's hips playing up - the effort of lugging around a baby
for too long; dropped H. at school for her. Prodded mail. Dug around
at yast2-gtk yet more, fixed a number of strange sizing issues.
- Lunch; OO.o team meeting, call with JP. Poked at OpenSolaris
again: this time a race to boot; both virtualised in KVM, on the same
hardware, running similar desktop software: Gnome. OpenSUSE 11.0
boots to a fully logged in desktop on 1 CPU in 56 secs while in
parallel OpenSolaris takes 89 seconds to get only to gdm. Allowing
for an extra 12sec cold login experience on opensolaris, it's around
half the speed of linux. Clearly this is not yet optimised for
desktop-size-memory, single-CPU machines: but no surprises there.
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.
