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.

- Woken by a worrying & unaccustomed silence from various babies, apparently sleeping peacefully. Poked at E-mail, great to see Tor getting Gnome VFS building on Win32, if not fully working yet.
- Knocked up a few simple patch-writing guidelines for budding OO.o contributors.
- Recommended someone to E-mail the dev@gsl mailing list, safe in the knowledge that the indefensibly mind-mangled 'Reply-only-to-list' header mangling feature will ensure that unless they write "I'm not subscribed, please reply to me" they will get no reply; and even if they do - it's almost certain they will get no follow-ups / none of the rest of the thread. OO.o not being innundated with interested programmers, it's not obvious to me that we need this disincentive to getting people involved; a shame some people think it's a feature.
- Spent much of the afternoon digging into a rather nasty URI handling problem in the 1.1.4 code. Got another nodep related build problem, disabled that in stable.
- Cell group at our house, up late - very purpose driven.
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.
