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 very late - lay in bed trying to recover sleep debt fitfully - rather unsuccessful.
- Processed more mail, lots of nice patches from Martin, a solution from Federico for my netscapee woes (add to .Xdefaults)
Netscape*selectForeground: White Netscape*selectBackground: Blue
- Kicked bugs out of package 'bonobo' on bugzilla, for some reason people seem to love to submit totaly unrelated bugs to my package, perhaps I'm the default field. Time to rename bonobo to zbonobo.
- Grabbed some python tar balls from here thanks to Johan Dahlin - very good looking cooking indeed.
- Released bonobo-1.0.3 with Federico's focus fixes, George's sensitivity work and some other misc. fixes.
- Grabbed gstreamer to have a look at what's going on - libxml grief, refused to build - sigh. IIRC the 'correct' DV solution is to pollute the global include namespace with 'tree.h' etc. to make it build with both libxml 1 and 2.
- Started a new e-mail chess game with James, Jpr is working on the gnome-chess bonobo component - so hopefully chess inside evolution will be there soon.
- Cleared my mail Queue ... onto hacking.
- Built a HEAD gnome 2.0, whilst playing with gcc.
- Finaly got the toy language frontend ported to gcc 3.1 with a minimum of understanding, beggining to get more familiar with the delightful 'it must build on any C compiler' syntax, complete with:
extern tree build_function_decl PARAMS ((char *, int)); void lang_print_xnode(file, t, i) FILE *file ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED; tree t; int i; { ... etc ... } - Got the ggc garbage collection thing working, hacked around the poisoning of malloc / free ( as auto-generated by flex ). Uploaded a new mangled toy.

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.
