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, woken by the phone: bother. Misc. house
cleaning, played in the garden with babes. Lunch, out to
Marshal's in Cambridge, admired various Zafiras & on to
the Toyota garage - still very taken with the Corolla Verso,
setup a test drive.
- Back, peeled potatoes, slugged in the garden reading
various car specs. J. out to baby-sit, poked at memprof: added
a 'Record' button to stop the real-time event spew from OO.o
long enough to actually analyse the profile carefully.
- Started to read the particular framework/config
hot-spot I'd identified, I hadn't believed the reports of
quite how tangled OO.o's configmgr is, until I started to
trace it, and it's quite amazing. Also, at every opportunity
- a lock is taken; I'm sure ORBit2's locking is too granular
we have oh, 5 or 6 locks in there where 1 would be rather
better, but this takes the biscuit: tons of per-object
(recursive) locks being taken & released at any &
every opportunity - as well as (of course) the ubiquitous
(slow) interlocked ref-counting. And I'd put good money on
it all being wasted due to serialization by one or other of
the locked pieces.
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
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.
