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 in the night, appreciated Ettore's link
to
sedgames, most amusing. Anna reports that you can
use ',', '.' or '[' ']' to move to next / prev mail in
Ev 1.2, so there is less shiftiness; great.
- Committed my gnome-settings-daemon speedup
fixes. Poked at the OO lists, back to bed.
- Up early, finshed the build on Solaris,
login time seems fairly improved; interestingly memprof
doesn't use gthread, patched that. Discovered that was
the least of my worries, lots of glibc-isms in the code,
fair enough since it hooks a very low level library I
suppose, scrubbed them.
- Darren Kenny phoned for help with at-spi,
trying to get object equivalence to work nicely for
him. Poked around in at-spi, until I found a line of
code, suspiciously crippled by Bill with a C++ style
comment, odd. Left Darren to get on with it, to no avail.
- Carried on poking at my gnome-session
performance straces, realized that Xnest has no Xrender
support, and that my gtk+ was too old to default to
Xft2 without XRender.
- Left gtk+ building and set off to fetch J'
from Caius' Hughes Court, a very pleasant setting in the
center of Cambridge really. Off to Sean and Abbie's very
pleasant new house near the Grafton Center, saw Sean's
Smart Card setup.
- Out for dinner to the Hopbine for Thai food,
rather an odd setting for it, but very pleasant. Paid
Thomas a little in cash. Good to catch up with S&A.
Back to bed late.

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.
