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, chewed mail mostly dull. Very
pleased to see the economist accurately report the
word 'hacker'.
- Discovered the root of my problems is
bonobo-activation pulling in libxml2, pulling in
zlib. Discovered the OpenOffice zip code should be
a 2002 entry for worlds worst designed library
interface. Why pass any parameters to any methods
when you can have ~50+ global variables to store the
whole state in ?
- Stopped b-a pulling libxml2 into it's
clients (doh). Spent a while merging Colin Walters'
gnome-vfs recursive copy up, and fixing the HEAD
gnome-vfs build [ some acute crack smoking going on
in there ].
- Re-wrote the OO.o installer to fork/exec
'unzip', worked first time - Halleluja, one big chunk
of broken cruft removed.
- Fixed the header delivery mechanism so it
does a diff before delivering to save huge swathes of
time on incremental builds in OO.o, filed a bug with
the patch.
- J. home, went for a run, JPs, cooking,
bed extremely exhausted.

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.
