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, breakfast, mail chewage. Many kind
messages from various souls about the expected creature.
- Started updating to Dan Mills' latest Gnome
2.2 snapshots with Red-Carpet, what a hero - he got there
before I had to re-build everything for LWE.
- Bugzilla'd miscellaneously. Tried to book
Eurostar tickets from two different sites (sadly both
using 'TravelSelect'), the clever people at TravelSelect
(lastminute.com?) - refuse to process my custom, how
extremely clever. Better, the phone number is out of date
on the web-page, will marvels never cease.
- Onto
eurostar.com these clever people make it almost
impossible to guess what format they will accept dates
in, after reading the Javascript discovered it's
dd/MM/yy; great, managed to get there in the end.
- The Swiss railway site OTOH, while not in
a native language worked brilliantly, Thank you very
much for giving us the business! at the end; good.
- Nice to see Martin's mono debugger finally
released. Discovered a nasty hole in the nautilus
right-click menu event handling - it should never
have worked; requires everything to be fixed.
- Found evolution-1.4 requires 'libsoup' not
'soup' to be built. Sketched out my talk more, upon
inspection it seems quite a lot got done in Gnome 2.2.
Pushed bonobo-activation-2.2.0 - the translators have
been busy it seems. Then a libbonobo-2.2.0. Wrote an OO.o
status report.
- Discovered one needs gnome-desktop-themes to
get some nice icon-themes. J. home, out for a run, JPs,
stiching and talk writing. Gustavo Carneiro keeps coming
up with more and more good API docs work - what a lad.

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.
