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.

legacy html
- Up early, off to do battle with the
machine. Chewed mail, updated SRX643_OO - no changes
over the w/e. Had a hack at polygon / gradient issues
again.
- Finally found the filled polygon rendering
code; hmm, it seems it does a rather convoluted series
of rendering steps, XORing things on and off of the
screen, most odd.
- Went to the Dentist to have my teeth seen
to, apparently there's nothing much wrong, which means
I guess that any percieved pain is my paranoid mind.
Apparently I've ground several millimeters off my teeth
already though - so in a few years, I'll be grinding
jaw bone to skull; not good.
- Committed a bonobo widget ref counting fix
on root widgets; now Morten can test properly. Poked
at the OO installer, it seems to have code to avoid
initializing X, and then does it anyway for some
auto-install cases.
- Talked to jbz about a machine for a
tinderbox, helpful man.
- Went for a run with J', home for JP's -
Federico on line, started briefing him by E-mail, to
discover the latest snapshots [and the ones after that]
cause evolution to die on mailer startup; grief. Used
IRC instead, couldn't post my OO patches. The thought
of spending hours unwinding GConf and bonobo-config
errors of the form "can't contact XYZ",
"ConfigDatabase/NotFound" etc.
- Bed.

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,

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.
