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.

- Off to the dentist - amazingly nothing requiring
immediate, expensive surgery J. needs her first filling though: if
she goes on like this, 3 fillings might see her out.
- Back, fighting the gcc build now - I could swear this
used to be simpler, plugged on with it, the kindly Herr Matz reports
that
--disable-bootstrap is the solution, nice.
- Foolishly installed kdebase4 from stable-x86 to poke at
KWin - is my Composite oddness an X-server bug ? apparently, getting
kdebase4 required a newer OO.o and evolution. New evolution broken
on start, dug at the code - discovered a locking rats nest; poked
Srini / Psankar - perhaps fixing it will improve gwise stability
nicely.
- Poked Psankar, who it seems is interested in hacking on
iogrind - in his ITO, good
man. Found, fixed the evo. bug - and got my calendar back.
- Finally nailed down all the stupid glibc problems - really
working without any form of debugger at all is just exciting - doing
the vtable relocs nicely now: great.

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.
