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 latish, off to Owen's talk, rather amusing,
lots of historical insight into printing and typography,
interesting GUIs - hacked up his own presentation program
using Gtk+/Pango.
- Onto Karl Runge's ABIcheck talk, a rather elite
group there, quite an interesting talk about some tools to
help maintain a stable ABI. Had an interesting discussion at
the end over lunch about using gdb debugging symbols to
grab a snapshot of the system, including structure sizes,
vtable signatures etc.
- Then the GAIM talk, Sean Egan depressingly
un-repentant in his desire to re-write great chunks of Gnome
infrastructure put in place to help him - also known as the
"I don't want to depend on gnome-libs", even Owen panned
that attitude. Tried to persuade him to use libglade at
least, with mixed success.
- Then the closing address by Havoc, very
encouraging, a group photo, said goodbye to everyone,
and off with Julia to the barracks to relax.
- Onto the office via MIT (to drop a map)
to phone J's friend. Met Miguel and Chema, had a chat, got
tickets for MIIB, feeble, but entertaining.
- Back to the barracks and 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.
