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, a day of phone calls, got some layout stuff done
and synched with Ricardo: we now have both v & h boxes, and the
canonical v/hbox test works nicely: except for the unfortunate toolkit
XLayoutConstrains impl.s, that appears to revel in picking sizes that
are too small.
- Submitted (later) OOoCon paper on layout (with Ricardo).
Call(s) with Kelli - good to have her back. Another interview. Fixed
the vcl button CalcMinimumSize method, and got a nice screenshot
finally (of course this is Ricardo's work too) the archetypal vbox/hbox
with permutations of expand & fill settings:
- Of course, the really fun problem is not the easy bit of
creating the layout, or the XML parser, but making it possible to
quickly & non-invasively retro-fit existing code.
- Very late night call; timezones: they suck.

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.
