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 at 2am - dreaded itch, worked 'till 4 on my tutorial, still can't sleep. Snoozed fitfully before breakfast.
- To the conference, Owen's talk quite good. Sat around writing more slides. Got lunch with Jeroen, talked to the Gentoo guy: Daniel Robbins.
- Gave a rather shambolic talk; no CORBA stuff, did some thumbnailing stuff etc. slides to follow, met Kriss - of gtk+ fame, good guy.
- Back to the Gnome room, spoke to the GNU step people to determine how they do distributed object lifecycle stuff, interesting, apparently ref-counting as well, but they 'simply' ref after an XP ref transfer, opening a P2P connection to the process, which does per cnx. ref tracking. Didn't quite ask the right questions though.
- Off to the hackers room to sync mail, talked to David Axmark from MySQL, and a chap from Postgres, also Alasdair Kergon in passing.
- Met Nicholas Spalinger, a nice Christian chap out to a nice restaurant nearby with all the Gnome guys, had a nice chat to Glynn, onto a nearby bar opposite the illuminated cathedral - lovely. Walked back to the hotel, bed late.

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.
