Virtuous blogs

I’ve been really bad at dealing with spam on this blog, but I just went through the posts from the last few months and cleaned things up. So if you’ve made comments, you might actually see them now and maybe even see replies…

It’s been an exciting few weeks since my last post (well ok 6 weeks):

• DRM KMS merged (woo-hoo!)
• Wayland running on top of DRM KMS - had fun with Kristian on this one while we were both visiting Hillsboro for Intel meetings
• lots and lots of bug activity

The downside of the KMS merge is a boatload of new kernel bugs :p but that’s to be expected. We still have quite a few 2D bugs open and those will start to migrate over to the kernel side as more and more people use the code. I’ve got some cleanups to the libdrm doxygen markup as well, but nothing I’m ready to push out (it seems there’s always a more important bug or feature to work on so docs keep getting delayed, so dear lazyweb please write it for me etc etc).

On the home front things have been fun too; my new office (a shed in the back yard I’ve been remodeling) is nearly ready to move in to, just a few more weekends worth of work to go. It’s been a fun project, but I’m really ready for it to be done now, since I need the space and freedom from distraction it should bring. The holidays were great as well. Our little family visited my parents for the week of Christmas and had a lot of fun with the clan (grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins from all over came to visit). Then for new year’s my sister finally got to visit us up here in Arcata.

Well anyway, back to herding PCI patches and fixing up the KMS bits.
