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 very late - lay in bed trying to recover
sleep debt fitfully - rather unsuccessful.
- Processed more mail, lots of nice patches
from Martin, a solution from Federico for my netscapee
woes (add to .Xdefaults)
Netscape*selectForeground: White
Netscape*selectBackground: Blue
- Kicked bugs out of package 'bonobo' on bugzilla,
for some reason people seem to love to submit totaly unrelated
bugs to my package, perhaps I'm the default field. Time to
rename bonobo to zbonobo.
- Grabbed some python tar balls from here thanks to
Johan Dahlin - very good looking cooking indeed.
- Released bonobo-1.0.3 with Federico's focus fixes,
George's sensitivity work and some other misc. fixes.
- Grabbed gstreamer
to have a look at what's going on - libxml grief, refused to build -
sigh. IIRC the 'correct' DV solution is to pollute the global include
namespace with 'tree.h' etc. to make it build with both libxml 1
and 2.
- Started a new e-mail chess game with James, Jpr is
working on the gnome-chess bonobo component - so hopefully chess
inside evolution will be there soon.
- Cleared my mail Queue ... onto hacking.
- Built a HEAD gnome 2.0, whilst playing with gcc.
- Finaly got the toy language frontend ported to gcc 3.1
with a minimum of understanding, beggining to get more familiar with
the delightful 'it must build on any C compiler' syntax, complete
with:
extern tree build_function_decl PARAMS ((char *, int));
void
lang_print_xnode(file, t, i)
FILE *file ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED;
tree t;
int i;
{
... etc ...
}
- Got the ggc garbage collection thing working, hacked
around the poisoning of malloc / free ( as auto-generated by
flex ). Uploaded a new mangled toy.

created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under

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),

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.
