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, chewed mail. NotZed sending
amusing mails again, responded in kind - Ettore
still panicking. Fixed up a minor bonobo bug, fixed
NotZed's ancient g_free not xmlFree bug - and did
a new release bonobo-1.0.17.
- Tried to persuade the release team that
there is no point in freezing things built on top of
an unfrozen glib / gtk+, and that libbonobo was
frozen, and that we should do a new release.
- Alex reminded me of the obvious soln' to
finding the nautilus issues - an strace and an ORBit2
trace at the same time (perhaps), strace -p is ones
friend apparently.
- Found a very daft bug in g_io_channel_unix,
committed a fix. Tried to get Owen to agree to a hard
API freeze soon - but it all hinges on Tim and him not
having a cold; sigh.
- Hammered away at the nautilus component
issues, trying to get a file manager window visible
instead of a grey rectangle.
- Struggled with Nautilus - just acute and
amazing evilness; started rendering on gdkwindow,
walking window hierarchies etc. etc.
- Wow - eventualy found the mess - Hallelja !
(praise God) inside bonobo. The ORB's idea of what is
in-proc disagrees profoundly with X's idea - and thus
my GtkSocket workaround doesn't always work ... urgh -
that simple. Made a
screenshot to prove it can be done. Cleaned and
committed the bonobo side of this. Then the misc.
Nautilus fixes.
- J' arrived home - went for a run;
showered, tried on my nice new cotton pyjamas she had
bought me - dinner ( bangers and mash ), business call
for J' - hacked linc / ORBit2 idly, looking at
connection sharing.
- 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.
