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, OO.o build machine still dead - alive, just
not responding to ssh. Committed the libwnck pager fix. Talked
to Steve Gains on the phone about a Novell knees-up. Nice to know
that Novell has a road-show in the UK demoing XD2 among other things
to clients.
- Got a brilliant mail from Caolan describing how the font
mapping works in OO.o; as I suspected internally pointers are held
to non-existent fonts that are reconciled at the last minute at
render time.
- At some considerable length, located the bullet / symbol
font problem with word import/export in the disparity between
the StarSymbol and OpenSymbol fonts, wherein lies the root cause of
the brokenness.
- Desparately trying to get an OO.o package to set
building, unfortunately the bonobo component's i18n stuff broke
make dist in an apparently vicious way, brutally hacked that out
temporarily.
- Out for a short run - invigorating albeit cold, dark
and slippery. JPs for dinner, hair-cutting (less of a fuzz ball
now), bed.
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.
