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; sucked mail. More attempted remote debugging
of obscure linking problems on win32 wrt. libart_lgpl. Spent some
time re-working our ooo-wrapper with improvements from Chris /
Debian.
- Out to look around a house after Lunch and saw the
solicitor wrt. drawing up a will; hopefully can snarf his old PCs
for the youth drop-in center.
- Nice new netgear 10/100 hub arrived today from Novell,
switched over to that, and retired the ageing Imaginator ne. McMillan
hub I was given nearly a decade ago (AFAIR); thanks Simon.
- Substantial hacking on the macro front. Federico pointed
out the Havoc / Miguel discussion - oh for time to read planet Gnome.
Is it laughable to suggest standardising on a single office suite
for Gnome - perhaps, but perhaps just an acute lack of serious leadership
on the issue. The real problem is - who is most suitable to lead whom,
and Gnome's fundamental weakness: precisely no way of resolving conflict
/ compromising. The usual approach is flame-wars followed by cold-war /
arms-races of competing projects - some think division, and wasted labour
is a strength (A. Cox passim), others think it tragic. Bring back Miguel
as the benign dictator, life was easier then.
- Dinner, gave H. a bath, J. out to the counselling course.
- Got MS exported macros to re-load in OO.o - fixing a number
of compressor bugs etc. unfortunately, they don't load in Excel - slight
catch; spent more time chopping my old 'dir' stream down to the very
barest of bones.
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.
