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 earlyish, guy arrived from IBM to deliver
new laptop disk (this time Hitachi not Fujitsu), did a
little dance; demanded the last one back - with all my
data on it (hmm), not so good. Another happy SLED10
install.
- Poked mail. Read the huge, long ODF related
write-ups out there. Wrt. cool sounding Da-Vinci named
plugins, I'm still convinced that wholesale re-use of
the OO.o filter code-base is (in principle) the right
way to go. Interested by Rick Jellife's
view, non-hysterical approaches dominated by facts,
accurate technical detail, and humour are surely to
be applauded.
- Poked at mail, rsynched stuff across to
the laptop again (it's starting to recover slowly).
- In exiting news today: we have some more
happy hackers to welcome to the Novell China OO.o
team: Zhang Yun, and 2 of his colleagues to join Jian
and Fong. Looking forward to some great work from you
guys.
- Hacked the gtk+ fpicker around (a perennial
favorite), knobbled a silly usability issue, poked Lutz.
- Hacked away at string interning bits,
the new 'static' refCount guard against wraparound
seems uncontroversial & pleasant, leaving space for
the 'interned' flag.
- Call with Doug, IM with Simon. Bed late.

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),

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.
