Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Out for a run with J. early partner call; reviewed changes, triaged mail. Lunch including a partner call; sync. with Tor & Miklos.
Spent some time digging around injecting DLLs into windows processes for debugging; loads of duplication in this space - something as trivial as LD_PRELOAD is (apparently) too much to ask for; it is necessary to write reams of rather dodgy code instead; apparently Deviare had the radical approach of not only creating the source, but making it easy to build (MS' Detours fails to build eg.). Of course - having examined the project files they spectacularly fail to build due to things like this work of genius from Microsoft - breaking innumerable project files; installed VS 2015 on top of VS2017 (not recommended), hey ho. For someone used to smooth configure/make/make-install that works across all manner of different UNIX's and cygwin too - all this hard-coding of random sub-paths into Visual Studios seems unbelievably awful.

My content in this blog and associated images / data under images/ and data/ directories are (usually) created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0 license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes / improvements / corrections by private mail.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
