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, moved bed from my brothers room to my
room as Julia vacated my bed for work.
- Slept until 10.00, realized I had missed my
appointment at the passport office at that time - argh.
- Started chewing mail. Very frustrating time
explaining to people with too much time to write mail [ but
no willingness to educate themselfs by reading code ] how to
proceed on various fronts.
- Overall looking good, reccommended switch to
ORBit2 now. Discovered the reason red-carpet was refusing
to suggest any updates was that my transparent HTTP cache
had cunningly cached the XML packages description for ever,
blanked the cache - 84 Mb to pull.
- Read mail, the CORBA spec trying to work out
what type_id was in fact good for. Thought up a contorted
C++ MI example - without virtual functions and asked David
Faure for elucidation.
- Did some CVS surgery to move the monikers and
storage modules that need gnome-vfs up the dependency heap
into libgnome [ with the tests ].
- Installed
gnomemeeting, but insufficiently cunning peripherals to
make it work nicely I think, and a lack of time to work out
how it works. Looks nice though.
- Mono was
announced today, got a nice plug in
TheRegister which is always pleasing.
- Commented on Mike Kestners' nice analysis of the
compound document situation inside Bonobo - great work.
- J' arrived home from work - looking georgeous as
normal.
- Dinner, talk, bed.

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.
