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, get to the hacking. Little interesting
mail, fixed up nautilus' radio-buttons more elegantly, started
poking at valgrind, an interesting read indeed, with a view to
adding profiling support to it. Mailed Julian.
- Poked with gcc, gcc -ax of a trivial program is
blowing up with some horrendous rtl dump, will miracles never
cease ? hacked around at eazel's 'prof' which might be useable
on Solaris. Got it nearer ported to Gnome 2.0 => working on
Solaris.
- Apparently it's a feature that profiling doesn't
work with threaded apps; great. Back to analysing the strace
some more.
- Discovered that nautilus does a recursive search
over all the (remote) X windows, looking for some obscure KDE
attribute so we can turn off the desktop rending if we're
running KDE. Problem is - it was taking a second on my Sun,
not a useful feature IMHO.
- J' home, off for a run, nice pasta dinner, bed.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
