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 at 4am, 3 hrs work on iogrind (and persuading git to
work; apparently git-pull via ssh doesn't like me, but via http://
(to the same files) it works ok: amazing): got DiskSim finally
working, and generating (hopefully) more useful numbers. Good to see
Federico back from vacation. Added a gradient in the disk block
view to show ordering. Breakfast.
- Filed bugs, chased bugs. Set off for the Griffin's,
hacked a little in the car - surprisingly good contrast on the T60p
even in the sun. Hacked the valgrind piece - dump file descriptors
not just names to handle multiple opens of the same file correctly,
dump cwd changes for correct relative path lookups.
- Hit an amazing bug in the car - the random screen-save
kick-in while CPU is busy seems to be a side-effect of the clock
jumping ~30mins forward while under stress: clearly compiling
valgrind makes time fly.
- Untangled some ext2dump problems & dump file-sizes
too (for edgy reverse-seekers). Stupidly did some optimising before
profiling, of course - no discernable win. Then callgrinded
valgrind itself (cf. README_DEVELOPERS), unfortunately no obvious
sillies; bother. Wife arrived to drag me from the keyboard: the
weekend has arrived, apparently.
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.
