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; H. seems determined to get up earlier every day; 5.45am today, even though not allowed into the bedroom, likes to push her luck opening the door & singing happily to herself on the landing outside; hey ho.
- More xhtml related java re-build of 1.1.x stuff, how I loathe 1.1.x. According to an strace it seems we initialize fontconfig twice on OO.o startup, once for psprint, once for gtk+ - looks sub-optimal; seems that also doubles the memory consumption. Knocked up a quick patch, saves me 100k with only a handful of fonts & slightly improves startup.
- Finally got java/1.1.x working - xhtml export produces 0 length files, but only when you're not stracing, crashes when this section is run in gdb; nice work. Simulating a SEGV to try to get more data out makes the JVM dump great reams of crud - but no stack trace; and I thought debugging with Mono was tough. Eventually after more sweat mailed the author.
- Out for a run in the evening, stretched myself a little; bed early - read Collapse to J. and amusingly restrained panning of 'Erich Von Daniken' mendacity wrt. Easter Island.

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.
