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; mail, poked at some bug reports. Stopped OO.o 1.1 doing the irritating raise-on-load thing for Dan again; it had sprung another redundant raise somehow, filed up-stream.
- Dug around with yet more OO.o icons, getting better coverage again, announced the new ooo-build-1.1.42 release.
- Setup NAS to poke at esound interactions with it, dug at the evil AIX patch to do NAS/ESD - if only someone had considered the folly of using unwrapped 'write','read' syscalls as part of the public stream API.
- Dug at some evil flicker in OO.o it seems there is some truly cunning re-rendering happening; by slowing down the re-rendering one gets some extraordinary effects - note the beautifuly compositing of the New icon with the random mess behind it.
- Tried to explain Bonobo/CORBA ref counting to Alex who is striving mightily at the VFS daemon. Re-re-wrote my alpha blending patch to make Thorsten even more happy with it.

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.
