Two busy months…
Tuesday 15th July, 2008 @ 1:08 am
Apparently it’s been over two months since I last blogged. For a change this hasn’t actually been due to having a lack of anything interesting to say but just not having enough free time. London days seem a few hours shorter than those elsewhere in the UK and my perpetual busyness isn’t overly conducive to my blogging.
My employers Mendeley have made the recent wise decision of employing some excellent other software engineers, including KDE’s own Fred Emmott who is working in my team. He’s a great guy to work with but is annoyingly productive; every time I find something to do and get on with my own work it seems like five minutes before he’s fixed the bug/added the feature and is looking for more stuff to do! Any suggestions on how to make him less productive?
It was a nice surprise to view the 2.6.26 kernel changelog and find that some of the code I wrote at Wolfson Microelectronics two summers ago has finally been merged. I can now grep for myself in the kernel! Yey!
I hope to blog more regularly now, hopefully with less self-indulgent posts and more useful ones as I’ve been having some interesting battles with the mighty CMake at work that deserve sharing.
I guess I’m signing off for the evening as it is late o’clock but hopefully see some of you soon as:

Erm, get Fred addicted to WoW, it’ll nerf his productivity beyond recognition.
Or get him a girlfriend who emails him 50 times a day.

Otherwise get him drunk, that’ll cut his productivity. Don’t get him too drunk though since he’ll start getting even more productive again.
