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, extracted from the bed by the wife
under great duress. Chewed mail; Gustavo upgrading the ORBit2
autotools with much pain, good man. Listened to my new
David Gray - a new day at midnight; good.
- Pretty appalled to see two glibc bugs screwing
evolution simultaneously - Jeff's re-enterant gethostbynames
barfing on comments in /etc/hosts bug; and Dan's non
thread-safe dynamic loader in RH8/9's with latest glibc (
test your glibc today) bug. Top that
with Anders' OO.o build death caused by NPTL breaking the JDK
and the world suddenly looks very flakey.
- Discovered that 'cvs diff -u' produces pre-breaks
diffs of MS-DOS CRLF format by appending a bogus CRLF to the
'method name' pre-amble of each diff section.
- Talked to Chris on the phone, most helpful.
The ooo-snapshot is live for RH9, SuSE 8.2 pkg in the pipeline,
unfortunately the rh9 pkg has some nasty dependency issue such
that it can't be installed via rcd, mailed Dan about that;
hopefully by Monday we'll have nice, regularish OO.o 1.1
snapshots available. J. home, knocked off.
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
license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for
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.
