- OpenOffice Impress is irritating me again… slow, CPU greedy and generally annoying #

MythTV 0.21 released!
Yep, a new MythTV version is now about 10 days old. I’ve been running a “recent” SVN build for a while now, and there’s a lot of pretty goodness there – and been fairly stable. Nothing radically different than before, just natural evolution for the better.

Windows finally gets poll() (well…WSAPoll)
Found this today: Windows Core Networking : WSAPoll, A new Winsock API to simplify porting poll() applications to Winsock.
Which means we should be able to squeeze some peformance out of Vista. Although, since poll() we’ve gone and moved on to much better things in the free world.
As part of porting MySQL Cluster to Microsoft Windows platforms, I’m going and redoing a lot of the portable sockets code in MySQL. My goal is to have enforcing of proper use of the portable functions be done by the compiler instead of the programmer – leading to less portability bugs.
Let’s face it: friends don’t let friends have to run Windows to not break the Windows port.
Good news is that so far I’ve found several bugs that could have presented them in real nasty ways at run time but have instead showed up as build errors – brilliant!

- need coffee… but coffee going to be with lunch… oh the decisions! #
- VS2008 crashed again #
- and now it’s locked up… #
- @pjf: have some of mine! :) #
- @bytebot: YAY! #
- BitKeeper has shat itself again. I am not happy. #
- Awesome… whine on twitter and get mail from BitKeeper people. awesome. #
- @bytebot: you can follow words? #
- only 2 failed targets in MySql.sln #
- and then there was 1 #
- and Visual Studio 2008 crashed *again* #
- likely my previous BitKeeper problem was technically caused by user error… but I think BK could deal with it better.. #
- @bytebot: dunno… being acquired by AOL adds a bit to the price.. likely going to loose out on that deal. #
- fup = contraction of "fuck up" #
- /me reads the Windows docs on setsockopt and breaks down in tears #

- sane and safe portability code is *hard* #
- i do not like Visual Studio. It’s just too buggy. #
- VisualStudio 2008 just crashed for about the 10th time today. #
- Evolution is more stable. #
- there’s a reason we still use Emacs… it works. #
- i want to kill IntelliSense. all it does is eat CPU time when i’m trying to look at things. GAH #
- VS crashed again… #
- and another 149 odd "has changed" dialogs #
- again, Visual Studio crashes #
- @pjf: just trying to use it for building a project (MySQL Cluster) #
- @pjf: and I think it would be easier to just set up a gcc cross-compile on Linux and run under WINE #
- crashed again. Visual Studio 2008 sure better generate better code than itself. #
- doesn’t help that VS takes a minute or two to load the MySQL.sln #
- it is *so* slow using Cmake and VisualStudio. gah. #
- VS crashed again #
- i’m being tempted by green #
- cmake documentation sucks. #
- seriously… what… IF(variable OR variable). note the ‘variable’ instead of ‘expression’ #
- (and, of course, they don’t mean that at all) #
- the MSVC compiler does have some useful warnings though… #
- very sleepy #

- to bed: 5:15am, awakened at 11:15am by FedEx. I now have a Sun/MySQL shotglass and a Sun bag though #
- @glynnfoster: oh yeah! #

- i’ve now officially received a document from a Sun employee not in native OpenOffice.org document format (no idea what it was created in … #
- /me stabs Evolution hard for crashing. #
