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 really early.
- Hacked on ORBit2 all day, ported the stable regression tests to it, talked to Elliot for a while about a mystery idl-compiler bug before adding a sed script to the Makefile to work round it - not my fault.
- At Elliot's insistance put the small stub / skel code into the main IDL compiler - yuck, mixing sweetness and ugliness to make more ugliness.
- Went for Mexican with Jacob: an interesting fellow.
- Shrunk _alloc, _allocbuf and temporarily _freekids successfully.
- Used Nautilus from CVS HEAD - wow ! much faster than I remember - still slow to startup, but great. Probably purely psychosomatic, I imagine it's always that fast, but normaly my brain is more alert. The help browser looks prettier than I remember, they even have a www.theregister.co.uk newsfeed for the LHS bar - wow I'm sold.
- Sat around hacking on ORBit2 until 12.30pm or so with Iain playing ogg things from his new panel applet.
- Back to the appartment, met Miguel - tired from travelling & Alex. Bed.

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.
