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, crick in the neck - how did that get
there ? - chewed mail. Chewed mail, seems my hacky pango
font cache knocks 10% off nautilus startup time. Updated
the 'Nat' link, thanks to Jon Lapham.
- Chewed on some of the critical Sun bugs. Sent
Jaggu a patch disabling excessive syslog syscalls in gconfd.
- Struggled with some more nautilus 'custom'
widgetage creating radio-buttons without using radio-buttons,
and trying to repair the accessibility issues.
- Poked at an strace of a gnome-session startup on
my Linux box - amazed to discover gnome-settings-daemon doing
the most bizarre things, loading sound files, and processing
scads of sound lists, very wierd indeed. Fixed the ORBit2
build from my earlier breakage.
- Poked at the C/S-F10 keybindings stuff in
nautilus, really not clear where best to make the popups pop-up.
Fixed some a11y funnies in the location bar text selection.
- Onto nautilus startup performance again; good.
Discovered nautilus doing an 'eel_background_is_dark' averaging
every pixel of the background image, doh. Fixed that.
- Sean and Steve Hnizdur arrived had a chat, all
looking very promising. Bed early.

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.
