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.

legacy html
- Up in the night with H. who (apparently) for no reason
decided to have several long strings of tearful Mummy/Daddy calling.
Eventually slept. Up late. Encouraged to adapt my previous flame of
all of Sun's (no doubt excellent) QA, to just the particular
individual, fair cop.
- Fixed
name-account.html generation, updated the hackers guide
again with Jayant's comments, some tedious admin.
- Did a small fix on linkoo taking a minute or two to
perfect / test, spent another 10 minutes filing an issue, attaching
the patch, marking it fixed, creating a cws, committing it, adding
the task number, marking it ready for QA, marking the bug verified,
adding a QA comment, marking it approved by QA. A 10/1 ratio for
fix/infrastructure commit pain - it seems obvious to me that this
process will dramatically impeede the quick inclusion of trivial
bug fixes, and hence rapid development / test / feedback iterations,
resulting in only local experts having the patience to create a
relevant cws - and glup together enough small fixes (10 + ?) to
make it actually worthwhile.
- Checked the re-named / modern sub-set of Industrial
icons into OO.o cvs: 1622 new files; still many with helpful names
like
sx03219.png, created a new cws to do the artwork
layering we need.
- Interesting mail from Mike Hearn of Codeweavers fame about
the new glibc RTLD_DEEPBIND support; possibly useful for
accelerating OO.o startup - iff C++'s weak symbol addiction
can cope.
- Committed my hacks to the artwork build logic to
ooo-build for some more testing action - looking rather good
though. Worked late.
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.
