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, listened to Quote ... Unquote
during a long build: I find TV very educating, every time
someone turns on the set, I go into the next room and read a
book. not as good as last week. Back to bed.
- Up later; Volker discovered a mysterious space increase
on ooo; found that mysql was logging every operation in great detail
into a vast log-file; turned that feature off, nice, more space/speed.
- Gustavo committed his Python/BonoboObject helper class
to libbonobo - good.
- Spent a lot of time flogging minor build / other sillies
in my code. Poked at /etc/gconf/schemas - we need a standard tool to
run over that directory working out which are not correctly
installed, it's so common. Discovered I had 420 tiny XML files in
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults, most of them 200-500bytes small.
Staggered by the seek implications of pulling them all in
approaching 5 seconds on a slow disk with a bad layout.
- J. home, Mexican dinner, off to Ryan & Nancy's for
Cell group. Ryan in bed or worse with some evil lurgy. Comedy
guitar playing; chatted most of the evening: hey ho. Home,
shower, bed late. Someone has unexpectedly demolished Newmarket's
3rd petrol station, most odd.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under

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.
