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 late; E-mail swallowing. Naren did some
measurements on the myspell shrinkage - it seems for word
lookup it's not only 1Mb (1/2 of that mmapped) instead of
2M(mallocd), but also slightly faster for lookup.
- Filed OO.o and Evo. bug reports; upgraded Evo.
snapshot. More gcc reading - an interesting piece of code
indeed; trying to drive all vtable functions via the
PLT instead to trade run-time for start-up performance; at
least as a first pass; easy to do by adjusting the assembler;
works nicely - hard to unwind the various clever gcc
abstractions to do it there.
- Conf. call, came up with a patch to generate
PLT relocs - somewhat over-enthusiastic though; J. cooking
all manner of wonderful things for tomorrow.
- Met a lovely German family looking for somewhere
to stay in the road: Eric, Ulricha & Federica - put them
up for the evening - everywhere else full: racing meet
tomorrow. Stayed up late cleaning up, icing birthday cake
(in the shape of favorite beanie cat toy), tried to fix a
toy train with Erich.

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