I had some trouble getting up this morning, but I managed to get everything packed away by 10:00. This is no mean feat, because I had brought a rather decent number of clothes. And of course, a modest kitchen. Including a pressure cooker. Well, one doesn't expect to host dinner parties without being prepared, now is one?

We went downstairs to ( Read more... )

Friday, I started the day with many glasses of orange juice. I am glad that they have yet to ruin freshly-squeezed orange juice. Wait, I shouldn't say that. Maybe next year, they'll grind in more pith.

I had a good watching three talks today:
Structure Aliasing in GCC was presented by Daniel Berlin who talked about how the C and C++ front-ends ( Read more... )

Today I attempted to have the conference breakfast again. This was a spectacularly poor move on my part. How a professional restaurant kitchen could serve up burnt hash browns is beyond my conception. I think they're scammers really. A gallon of coffee costs over $50 CDN at this place. Not only that, the coffee isn't even any good.

So my good friend Angela Marie Thomas is complaining that her PageRank isn't very good. It's not a particularly good website because it's not up. But I'm sure that will change soon.

On Wednesday, we showed up reasonably early (but not at all bright) to the registration desk. It was very nice to see steph_grrl again and I had a very nice chat as I signed in. With my loot bag in one hand and my laptop in the other, I joined my roommates for breakfast. Which was a mistake.

After a disasterous meal, even for an iron stomach as mine, we ( Read more... )

About six months ago, I asked musicdieu (Luke) if he wanted to go to the GCC Developers' Summit with me. At the time, he was doing a little porting work to get stuff building on a snapshot of GCC 4.0. He mentioned that he was coming back to work at NITI and would be happy to come along, so I set the wheels in motion to get us there.

And on Tuesday, we ( Read more... )

I'm putting on my shoes right now. Soon, I'll knock on musicdieu's door and we'll be heading towards Station Centrale. There, we'll squeeze onto a smelly coach liner and drive all the way up to Ottawa. It's only an hour or so by car, but the bus seems to take much longer.

Once we get there, we'll be checking into the hotel. I presume that Jim and Jeff ( Read more... )

Taking over from musicdieu, I've tried to get NITI's source code compiling using GCC 3.4. People have asked us to make this happen, and I've been hard at work.

Neat. Dan Kegel of crosstool fame has written up some notes about the GCC Developers' Summit.
