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 late; lost 1.2Mb of mail due entirely to
stupidity ( I use scp to pull my mail in a block ).
I hope there was nothing too interesting in there; not a
good start to the day.
- Started a const review of atk+ and gail,
got embroiled in fixing several things, and making it
almost warning free. Sent off the patches to the
accessibility list; and returned to at-spi. Talked to
Owen for some time about various things, good to catch
up.
- Started tiresomely re-building the whole
system from the ground up - again, again. Committed the
bonobo object instantition speedup. Continued building,
gnome-core builds nicely now; lots of good work going in
there it seems from Mark and Glynn. Made nautilus build
for the gtk+ changes.
- It transpires that I lost my gnome foundation
ballot in the mail I dropped; sigh. Fixed more at-spi
breakage ( this time of my own creation ) and sent another
patch and more questions off to Bill; blocked there. Back
to other things.
- Still raining and winding well. Late lunch,
hacked Nautilus a little - the tests building, fixed up
some destroy -> dispose / finalize bits. Fired off a
patch and committed. Stopped libgnome churning out scads
and scads of timing information on startup - all of it
missed the real latency; pango init - which is done on
demand anyway.
- Fixed the nasty in the ORB whereby only the
first ref was being registered in the objref table,
causing much unneccessary out of proc CORBA traffic,
committed a fix and re-write / re-org - dynany fix and
it seems the new allocators stuff worked wonderfully
first time on Solaris; and without any of the ugly
black magic bit-masking of pointers etc.
- Bill mailed, committed the at-spi stuff.
Got a series of confused mails about the atk / gail
code. Fixed a nasty issue in CORBA_Object_is_equivalent
added a slew of regression tests, committed.
- Bed, must phone J' though.

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
