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, suprised to discover the wife had been
reading 'Peopleware' (even I could understand it), though
I hadn't got to it yet, no Economist - so started; interesting
so far.
- Poked at mail, amused on analysing an OO.o
corrupted my spreadsheet bug to discover a worrying
preponderance of '0x0d 0x0a' bytes, including the 2 terminating
ones, a total lack of 0x00's and a pre-ended " character;
looks like some ninny loaded it in some DOS text editor, then
saved it again. Sadly although some files in OO.o cough
types.rdb could use a similar treatment, it doesn't look
possible to automate a 0x00 re-insertion to restore the
content.
- Long phone call with Kai. Squeezed more memory,
code and performance out of the configmgr, analysed the
duplicated strings again; framework burning > 1/4 of the
reduncancy now (tons of ".uno:SaveAs" type entries).
The reason we have 145 instances of 'ALIEN' unfortunately
turns out to be poor representation of the binary config
cache, shame.
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.
