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. Set off a build of Radek's new cairo /
slideshow stuff. Mail pokeage, explained my diapprobation with
the kernel wrt. desktop performance to Ray Lee, who is kindly
taking an interest.
- Tried for some time to reproduce the hideous swap
performance with some simple tests, got markedly better numbers,
either the behavior has improved in recent kernels, or the hacks
are even worse at evicting pages than thought, or the usage
pattern is not as pathalogical; hmm.
- Lunch; more gcc hacking - some nice output of
__vt_fixup hooks in the right places, knocked up a quick C
method to implement that; perhaps a quick prototype built on
a pile of evil hacks is feasible afterall. Nice to see all
your C++ constructors churning out with class names (from the
RTTI data).
- Read the VTT & rtti output code to investigate
building a noddy string-list decl, for use with 'dlsym()'; seems
quite doable. Set m118+mono+cairo+vba+mdbtools building on another
machine.
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

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.
