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 again; nice to be back after the weekend.
- Had problems getting CPAN/Perl stuff to work well on
Win32 - a
unset LIB INSTALL seemed to cure the problem
very nicely. Wrote another LXF column.
- Some quick review of Bill's updated a11y
interface work. Meeting agenda for tomorrow.
- Tried to download an
OpenSolaris iso to have a poke at the toolchain, extremely unhappy
with having to register; abandoned the whole thing at the
registration page. Sun Microsystems respects your desire
for privacy. Personal information collected from this form may
be used by Sun, or shared with it's authorized partners to ...
contact you in connection with this transaction. Extremely
curious to know how many people hit that page and never progress
further: 1 million downloads, 10million hits on the "now you get
to register" page (?). Tried to grab an ISO from 'SchiliX' (which
appears to at least get the whole 'barriers to entry' issue;
unresponsive server: no ISO. Gave up. A micro-cosm of the endless
random flow of free-software developer time.
- Checked OpenSUSE.org
to make sure we're sane; 3 clicks to a CD ISO/bit-torrent/mirror-list;
good. Burned some SL10.0 RC4 CDs.
- Installed, fiddled with the Radeon / project stuff that
works perfectly with NLD/9 (Thinkpad R40) - first use APM instead of
the busted ACPI stuff; still only works when one re-starts X; hmm.
S/W suspend seems to work in RC4: good.
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

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.
