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; X server dead again, frightening.
It seems the
new Mono JIT got committed; nice. Nice to see random
Kanjii characters in ones evolution display.
- Somehow the RH 9.0 autotools cause
bonobo-activation and now libbonobo not to build at all:
wonderful. Amused to see the D/BUS 0.7 release notes,
including gcov output - followed rapidly by 0.8 for a
paper bag bug.
- Foolishly chose to do the LXR re-index in my
(only) gnome-terminal; thankfully the database thrash
can't consume my local CPU - leaving loads of time to
spend rendering the output: X at 70% - great.
- Talked to Robert on the phone about his
project, a rather interesting way of measuring the
temperature inside jet engines.
- Did a gpdf-0.100 release for Martin; it's
looking really rather good with the gnome-print preview
to do the nice AA rendering.
- Read an interesting paper on real time
CORBA in avionics systems, and an interesting
performance comparison ORBit vs. TAO: we whipped
them. Seemingly Boeing are using CORBA in a military
weapons platform.
- Phone call with Stefan B. a most helpful
chap, had another poke at my code, discovered the most
dofusical problem, fixed it.
- Switched libbonobo back to automake-1.6 in
the hope that this may solve the RH 9.0 problems,
certainly fixes the doc build.

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.
