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 early, sucked mail, an eclectic mix. Pleaded with the Gtk+ guys for a glib/pango/gtk_debug_shutdown method so we can track resource allocation more elegantly there as well. Gergo sent in a nice patch to fix bonobo-storage-memory; horay. Mark sent in some fixes, and some more documentation - what it is to have a person who as he learns writes it up so others can follow more easily.
- Re-built nautilus looking for another bug reported by Darin - it's the fire fighting season it seems. Ordered a book for Mother, the joys of internet shopping.
- Pleaded with Owen on IRC for the _debug_shutdown approach to Gtk+. Lunch time before I finished fooling around with non-hacking; got dressed etc.
- Struggled with control lifecycle thing, GtkPlug does some odd things to GtkSocket; hmm. Fixed some paranoia in the ORB, spent some considerable time unwinding, and re-winding the mess in giop-recv-buffer. Fixed several possible bugs whilst re-factoring, now it's prettier.
- Sent a patch to Mark, and continued re-factoring, killed the two interlocking state machines - have 1 instead, turned the 3 case statements into 1, and shortened the code paths. Sent another patch to Mark and committed; grief - I wonder if I've nailed Darin's bug by accident yet.
- Another 4-5 instances of Bradford's config archiver problem - crash on login in bugzilla - assigned to me in error; sigh. Sent Ravi my LWE slides for his talk in India shortly.
- Committed some libbonobo[ui] fixups, can't replicate Darin's problem, so ... looks good. Sent another mail off on the subject of verifiably clean shutdowns to gtk-devel, sigh.
- J' arrived home; a bite to eat - and then off to Church for Marriage preparation - somewhat apprehensive. Rather encouraging, possibly we're not going to be clawing each other lots. It seems we can communicate rather well; which is nice. Amusingly we seem to also have similar ideas about the strengths of our relationship, and what we like in each other. Much of interest.
- Back home - ran for and caught the train, heckled by some drug addict, home & bed - pain in neck worse.

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.
