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 late; J. off to rescue Janine from being boxed in in Town. Got the machine-room spun up again. Chewed mail for a while.
- Lunch, another threatening letter from NTL - your head will be repossesed & auctioned on a plate to pay the bill - fair enough perhaps, if only the demand for payment was remotely accurate: only 6 months since we moved: hot tip: short NTL stock. A kind lady forward me to the 'Account Relations Dept.' (since she only offered a head severing service), they of course offer a dial-to-get-chat-then-disconnected-tone service.
- By progressively adding printf debugging to the whole UniversalContentProvider & ucbhelper setup, discovered that I have to call:
ucb::ContentBroker::initialize(...) with some complex set of parameters, and add another set of obscure regcomp command to my rdb construction. Anyhow, getting the command-line gallery creation tool into some nice shape: now at least creates a gallery. - Committed a QPro/Win32 fix up-stream. Up-loaded my LWE slides ( html sxi).
- Mailed Travis of ooextras fame again, looks like they're moving to a license we can all use / integrate into ooo-build & up-stream nicely.
- So pleased to be home, J. so much lovelier than I remember, most odd. Hacked in bed on the gallery thing - importing .bmps nicely now.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under images/ and data/ directories are (usually) created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0 license. 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.
