Moved to SF. At the airport it was a big mess because being less than 25 I could not rent a car. duh. Then I figured out I had no office and they didnt have the keys for my appartment either. Its all fixed now though :)
Still a bit tired, but heh...
Lesson of the day : my (apparently ex-) girlfriend is a lunatic. Back to our usual scheduled program...
:-/
made a bitstream patch for mpeg2dec. Its quite small, its faster than aaron's version, and I think its cleaner too. I hope it makes it into the tree soon.
My scheduler diff is not into the tree yet, I hope aaron gets some time to merge it sometime soon.
yesterday I made an ass out of myself by posting tons of messages to the livid list. Well not really an ass, but I dont like to post that much, and mostly I was nitpicking on minor issues that dont need immediate attention anyway. Heh, thats how it goes some days :)
I need to go out a bit or I will get crazy. I'm gonna move to the SF bay one week from now, and its so wierd to be here waiting for the move.
Back from weekend. On friday I'll be leaving for a 10 days holiday so I'd better not get late at work, and I have *lots* of stuff to do. I want to find the time to do the last 10% of my a/v scheduler patch, too... huh :-/
Aaron is quite busy at work too, he hasnt commented on my patches yet, so I'm on my own here. From early discussions I think we're on the same track, but I can only hope.
Worked on my a/v scheduler patch. Its over 90% done now - I still use the old API but under the hoods everything is ready for the API switch. Sent the result to aaron, I hope I'll have his comments when I go back from weekend.
My girlfriend keeps phoning me for hours just when I'm in a code rush. Oh well :)
Gone to the movies again. "hypnose" was cool.
I think my lazy phase is over now. Also I should have a bit more time this week so hopefully I can work on the a/v scheduling for livid. I sent a detailed proposal to aaron, I'll see what he thinks. He also finally integrated my motion comp patch so I'm happy :)
Things are progressing slowly on the livid side, but I should have more time this weekend. Also aaron is back again with his libvo mods, so it seems he'll be able to catch up. I want my motion_comp patches in :)
Registered for OLS, yay ! looks like we will have a small meeting between livid coders there. Aaron lives in ottawa already, and mpav should be able to come too - after fighting in court for our freedom, this would be a well-deserved warrior's rest ! Alan also mentionned on the livid list that he'd be there - heh, as if we had not figured this out already ! But thats still nice though, because I suppose this means he wants to chat about livid a bit. Yay :) also we discussed on the list the way the MC code is constrained by memory accesses and things we can do to try to avoid that.
Still playing a bit with mutt - played with the query_command to search persons working on remote sites at windriver, setup a few hooks... oh I'm sure I will be *so* much more efficient when I'm done, too bad that my work is not progressing by itself in the mean time :-)
Spent a lot of time doing nothing. Oh well, I guess I needed to stop thinking over the weekend :) Went to the movies and had a good time.
I finally switched from pine to mutt. I needed to do that for a long time, so that I can use the threaded mode, but the user interface really sucks in the default configuration. It's a bit better now. Also I hate the fact that you can execute muttrc commands with :, but you cant execute a function that is not binded to a key. mutt lacks a M-x equivalent :-)
First diary entry.
I feel pretty unproductive these times. Love sucks when it gets to productivity... My PTS decoding for the mpeg2dec player works, I'll send it to aaron as soon as he wakes up from hibernation. I dont know about the climate in canada but I guess they can't stay in the winter season for too long now ;-)
Right now the PTS stuff is not very useable, because we only know the PTS when we decode the picture, and mpeg pictures are not decoded in the display order. I could keep the PTS around and pass it to the display layers later, when the picture is actually shown, but I've been lazy :) Actually I have to work on a proposal for a new libmpeg2 interface, where this PTS handling would be very natural to implement. I start to have a clear idea of what I want, but I dont know yet how to get there step by step. Perhaps it will be easier to make a big-ugly-patch... ugh :(
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
