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, hammered on the Solaris box again,
miraculously gdb has decided not to give valid stack
traces at all, nor allow interactive debugging, not
helpful. Needless to say Xft + Gtk+ patch + patched pango
spews un-traceable warnings and bus-errors.
- Discovered my problems on Linux are most likely
due to linking against both libXft.so.1 and libXft.so.2, doh,
re-built yet more stuff.
- Gave up on fonts, started trawling the strace
log instead, Gconfd doing 500 calls to 'syslog' 30ms a
throw ~1.5 seconds, only ~300ms without truss though.
- Hacked up a nasty /tmp file cache for pangox,
seems to work quite nicely, avoids the evilness of handling
X atoms which is good.
- Picked J' up from the Stable in town [ cells
together ] and home to bed.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/ and data/ directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0

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),
or anyone else.
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.
