Like Havoc, I had a good weekend in NYC, with no laptop along, which was a nice change- first time I’ve traveled sans laptop for ages. Was a little cold, and we planned really poorly, so we saw no shows, spent a total of about two hours in a museum, and had only one really, [...]
After bug day yesterday, I got all motivated and stayed up late working on stuff. It was nice- got release team and board stuff done, which I hadn’t done in a while, and talked to some of the wipronians, which I also hadn’t done in a while. Was all good. JFDI is your friend and [...]
Bug Day was madly exciting today. It’s still going on, really, but I’d been in #bugs for 13 1/2 hours already so I was totally wiped and just had to leave. I love the international face of GNOME; besides the US we had bug day folks from at least 17 different companies (judging from a [...]
It’s not a good day when you ask your ops to fix something that is utterly blocking your work day at 10:30ish and it doesn’t get fixed until 6:30ish. It’s a much worse day when you get home and your HD starts spewing horrible errors that smell a whole lot like ‘massive drive failure.’ Thankfully [...]
Hallski is completely insane, for the record- just walking back and forth to the grocery store in 20F (-6.6C) was unpleasant this afternoon.
I’m glad Mariano found this pango infinite loop. I knew something had been broken badly for a few days, but I hadn’t had the time to pin it down, or even to nag [...]
Really good bug day today- lots of new faces, particularly in the morning. Look forward to more of these through the end of 2.6. Still lots of untriaged 2.4/2.5 bugs, but not the end of the world- very few really serious bugs that we didn’t know about that we ‘found’ today. Devs should look here [...]
Quote of the Day:
‘Luis … has rather passionate feelings about bug tracking.’ –Joe Shaw
Glynn, Bastien: the solution is to CC: yourself on all bugs and drop off all mailing lists. Trust me. ;)
Spent the evening feeling totally burnt and watching basketball. Also, I finished reading ‘Jennifer Government’ by Max Barry- what a riot. Makes a noble attempt at describing a virus on Solaris that operates using a buffer [...]
Before this fully turns into planet orkut, a bit about gnome. :) Elijah and aes continue to plug away on bugzila-test.gnome.org. It’s not perfect yet but it is very nice- will surely be a great upgrade for most people, and hopefully make it easier for us to upgrade to new bugzillas. It looks like upstream [...]
It took less than a day to get someone who mostly irritates me to no end to request a ‘friendship’ status on orkut. I’m a lot torn; the part of me that has integrity says ’stop accepting friendship requests altogether’ and the rest of me says ‘fix it later when they introduce shades of gray.’ [...]
