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; H. seems determined to get up earlier
every day; 5.45am today, even though not allowed into the
bedroom, likes to push her luck opening the door &
singing happily to herself on the landing outside; hey ho.
- More xhtml related java re-build of 1.1.x stuff,
how I loathe 1.1.x. According to an strace it seems we
initialize fontconfig twice on OO.o startup, once for psprint,
once for gtk+ - looks sub-optimal; seems that also doubles the
memory consumption. Knocked up a quick patch, saves me 100k
with only a handful of fonts & slightly improves startup.
- Finally got java/1.1.x working - xhtml export
produces 0 length files, but only when you're not stracing,
crashes when this section is run in gdb; nice work. Simulating
a SEGV to try to get more data out makes the JVM dump great
reams of crud - but no stack trace; and I thought debugging with
Mono was tough. Eventually after more sweat mailed the author.
- Out for a run in the evening, stretched myself a
little; bed early - read Collapse to J. and amusingly
restrained panning of 'Erich Von Daniken' mendacity wrt. Easter
Island.

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
