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, chewed some mail, back
to bed. Up late. Reviewed new proto Gnome speech API
from Rich Burridge. Committed a couple of b-a fixes,
Mark prodded me into reading his b-a work.
- Discovered OO.o uses local variable scoping,
to provide mutex scoping - via a local mutex, most
interesting. Caolan's a great help.
- Poked at xmon, discovered that many of my
previous problems were caused by using DISPLAY=:1.0
instead of localhost:1.0 - since xmon just opens port
6000+N, and ':1.0' goes for a unix socket [ I assume ],
similarly you need to setup DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 first,
and (perhaps) xhost +localhost.
- Discovered great slews of XAllocNamedColor
methods doing xpm rendering; how odd.
- J' home, cooked, eat by the fire, 'Weeze
phoned for ages, wrote a status report, poked at bits.
Bed late.

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.
