Stuff Michael Meeks is doing | |
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit Collabora Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and services for whom I work. Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if you are feeling objectionable perhaps here. Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on the LibreOffice Planet news feed.

- Up bright and early; got to work on the mail pile. Lots of nice work happening, Mike Kestner sorting out Bonobo embeddable canvas items slickly, Alexander let me commit my Dia patch. Various other misc. patches, bonobo fixage etc. Jody's doing some excellent work accelerating the guts of the gnumeric style code an order of magnitude speedup on average - nice, 2-3 orders for some large sheets.
- Onwards with configurable toolbars, detoured to help Miguel briefly and added UI support to the moniker test program; very useful.
- Phone call from John Gill from Renaisance ( a financial company in Ireland ), clearly a very forward looking chap, interested in investing some money in gnumeric development. Reccommended Jon K.H. to him. We need to provide 'Crystal Ball' and 'At Risk' equivalents apparently.
- Off to catch the train for dinner in London. Got an even louder red shirt for Christmas, and an extremely bright yellow tie; excellent - no taste.
- Got to the restaurant - Prism - 147 Leadenhall St. EC3, managed to walk past it without understanding the complicated numbering system that the street uses, rather on time instead of early.
- Lovely room, pleasing plaster work on the ceiling, almost no-one there which was nice. The lady herself arrived shortly afterwards, looking wonderful. Had a very pleasant delve into each other's lives, how interesting it looks from in there.
- Walked back via. St Helen's Bishop's gate, her London Church, tube to Kings X, fun fun.
- Train; got on with hacking configuration, getting there, niceish architecture, almost happy with it.
- Rather confused, meal less expensive than anticipated though.
