Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up at 5am, poked web / mail. Fixed some localtime to gmt based accounting in my evily hacked perl HTML -> RSS conversion script, hopefully now it advertises the right day of the week for a given date.
Petr did a great job packaging the OdfConverter, now available for SLED10 at http://red-carpet.go-oo.org; test docs. This is of course a stop-gap measure, the goal is not a separate converter (using XSLT) but high quality built-in OpenXML support, re-using & re-factoring the existing Microsoft binary filter code. Of course Mathias Bauer points out the Sun writer team is doing some great work re-writing the existing code here to be more flexible & elegant - read Henning's nice post about the design here.
Decided wearing the FUD Fighters T-shirt Simon Phipps posted me couldn't be more appropriate today.
Team meeting - an appallingly bad and expensive hotel line. Met up with Kay afterwards, chewed over various current issues in the code, lunch, and the afternoon. Read a nice analysis paper from Noel. Interesting talk with Leon in the afternoon.
Caught up all too quickly with the Teichman, Berkman, Garret, Gordon etc. good lads. Synched with Miguel sadly in rather a hurry, and off to the airport (of course flight delayed).
Poked at Ricardo's latest yast-gtk work, looking really clean & nice.

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.
