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; jet lag bites. A quick breakfast
with Erik and Miguel, and off to the 'mother ship'; got
a badge to let me in; went hunting for interesting
people to talk to. Found a cubicle near Brady Anderson
to lurk in.
- Off to help Scott Clayton of the Groupwise
team get a Win32 OO.o build for some ODMA hacking.
Retreated up-stairs to a cube.
- Lunch, talked to Nat, met Marcus Rex, met
Chris Stone, talked with Greg Jones, met Patrick McBride
in the flesh. Brady took me to meet Robert Wipfel; a most
interesting chap, of Inmos fame.
- Re-tested the xorg server; seems the changing
hostname problem is gone there too: great. Compiled a
recent OO.o and evo. concurrently, fixed an evo.
ergonomic pain. Fixed another, new ooo-build silly.
- Wrestled with the new gimp - unfortunately the
'crop' helper dialog ~always shows up right over the image
you're trying to crop in mid-drag (unhelpful). Finally
discovered the Layer->Mask->Add Layer Mask feature,
Layer->Mask->Apply Layer Mask, to add the alpha
I needed.
- Snuk into the product roadmap review barbeque,
good to talk with some of the guys. Back to the hotel,
talked with Miguel until late: interesting to catch up;
some very impressive Mono demos.

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,

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.
