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 lateish, J. ill, stayed in bed. Chewed
mail, lots of exciting things happening in evolution land.
- Fought pango / freetype versions to be able
to build and release a libbonoboui package.
- Had an argument with AlexG who removed my
SEEK_END caching from the ximian-smb branch, annoyed -
read the kernel quickly - it caches it, verified with a
test; doh - doing a roundtrip on SEEK_END is the most
brainless thing.
- Battled with fonts, learned a lot during the
process, pushed a libbonoboui package I couldn't distcheck
(pango and freetype symbol disagreement). Discovered that
an 'AFM' is just a 'Font Metric' file , and (it seems)
contains no glyph information.
- Grabbed
pfaedit - to poke around with some fonts with.
- Talked to Federico on the phone, he seems to be
doing well; but off next week to a conference apparently.
Pulled out the Windows machine to see what's happening in
their world.
- Natchos, bed early.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/ and data/ directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
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,
Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International),
or anyone else.
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.
