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, poked at this & that, made ooo-build HEAD
play nice with Debian, tried to file issues up-stream: firefox's
Waiting for www.openoffice.org... is becoming a personal motto.
Why invest a few thousand dollars in robust & well maintained
community infrastructure when you can save them, and burn tens of
hours of expensive developer time & pump the collective blood
pressure ? After counting 80 seconds and the page still not loaded,
looked away and it appeared.
- Poked at misc. patches; added 'base' to the quickstarter.
Continued my ongoing dialog with the sysadmin team about getting CVS
access to commit to ooo-build for several established, external
contributors - apparently it's not possible to have people added,
no-matter how competant, or with large outstanding features / patches
in-hand without having their stuff committed by others beforehand. A
shame. Made particularly less interesting by the pleasure of reading
huge unified double diffs; eg. add 1 line to a file with 20 deltas and
the unified diff of the unified diff explodes.
- Lunch; re-worked column, conference call. Re-worked the
quickstarter to add 'base' - unfortunately via an acutely ugly method,
since the previous person hadn't cleaned up after themselves; filed a
better method up-stream. Worked on the thinner startup / splash /
factory thing.

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.
