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.

- Got up late. After discovering Nat is in the habit of timing his
employees ablutions decided to have a lighting shower, Nat took considerably
longer, I wonder what that means ? I'm at the wrong end of the Friedman, Mena
scale. Got to Javits midday; excelled myself by walking past the evil security
guard without a visible badge.
- Discovered some Oracle drone has been saying their Java install
procedure won't work on Gnome without some sort of patch; wierd & ugly.
Amusingly Oracle seems not to grace the show with a stand of their own, so
it appears impossible to remonstrate heatedly with them.
- Committed my guile & function definition patches; stalled on my
Excel SST re-write; its rather painful.
- Talked to jrb re: bugs in gdk-pixbuf's io-gif, eventualy committed
my fixes on his instruction ( have to be careful with the gdk-pixbuf flashpoint )
and sent a patch to jrb & Quartic.
- Talked to Nat Re: the best way to do toolbar items with controls
and with luck halve the size of gnome-ui-handler.c and prune the idl; it looks
good on the face of it anyhow.
- Coded in the airport; late to board the plane again, sat around
waiting for some clown to have his baggage removed since he had cunningly
checked in and not got on the plane.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
