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; mail, poked at some bug reports. Stopped
OO.o 1.1 doing the irritating raise-on-load thing for Dan again;
it had sprung another redundant raise somehow, filed up-stream.
- Dug around with yet more OO.o icons, getting better
coverage again, announced the new
ooo-build-1.1.42 release.
- Setup NAS to poke at esound interactions with it,
dug at the evil AIX patch to do NAS/ESD - if only someone had
considered the folly of using unwrapped 'write','read' syscalls
as part of the public stream API.
- Dug at some evil flicker in OO.o it seems there is
some truly cunning re-rendering happening; by slowing down the
re-rendering one gets some extraordinary
effects - note the beautifuly compositing of the New icon
with the random mess behind it.
- Tried to explain Bonobo/CORBA ref counting to Alex
who is striving mightily at the VFS daemon. Re-re-wrote my
alpha blending patch to make Thorsten even more happy with it.

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),

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.
