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, interested to read
Game over for OpenDocument ? while clearly, ODF still has a good long
way to run, and one can't concur with their conclusions (pwrt. the general
merit of proprietary MS Office plugins, or starting a new standard), there
are some interesting insights on the ODF process. From my
perspective though this is all a side-show, the greatest tragedy
in the ODF domain is Sun & IBM's apparent lack of interest in compromising
& working together on OpenOffice.org, to grow the market for both ODF
& Free Software alternatives; whatever file format you choose - we
all need a better OO.o.
- Chewed mail, poked at some ppt import bug. Hacked on layout,
created a toolkit/awt VCLXMetricField implementation, just slightly worrying
that the 1st, trivial dialog to be ported is missing an adequate awt peer.
- Played with Kohei's nice python script to convert .src files to
xml, tweaked it a tad. More hacking on VCLXMetricField, re-working of layout,
added idle sizing.
- Cell group in the evening, a good showing.
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.
