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.

- Got side-tracked by Federico's analysis of b-a-s causing
problems by serializing activations on login. Turns out that it really
depends how lucky you are - in some cases; nautilus manages to launch
it's VFS daemon before the panel starts launching -really- slow to
start applets (eg. tomboy) and life is good; other times life is less
good; and ~everything is blocked until the panel has finished. Knocked
up a patch to add simple threading to b-a-s, to overcome that. Time
until nautilus is started went from 12 to 8 secs or so (if you're on
the wrong side of the race).
- Re-assured to discover (on filing my ERESTARTSYS leaks
into applications bug) that strace was never meant to work reliably
anyway; glad to have that experience confirmed.
- Bruce & Anne over for lunch; Kelli's staff meeting,
battled activation strangeness until late, fixed some stupidities.
Branched libbonobo for gnome-2-14 & committed to HEAD. Did some
work on my new pet project.

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,

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.
