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.

To work - more performance bits; gcc4 build completed nicely; very pleased - eg. libsvx' relocation count is down to ~10k from ~24k; great. The count seconds in your head school of precision measurement says it's a sub 3 second warm start instead of 4+ on my (fast) H/W. Overall relocations down from 180k to 90k; still too many though.
Phone call from Christian - coming for lunch Thursday, great; misc. meet planning. Dug into quite why we're loading a large & not visibility-annotated dbtools library on startup: seems there is a simple fix.
Some panicing about dead-keys; - seems they create IM 'commit' signals without corresponding preedit start signals causing vcl grief. Got fix in place - remembered how I loathe autobuild. Submitted a new OO.o.

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.
