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.

legacy html
- Up early, poked mail, people. Dug at gcc / binutils,
it seems the arch-specific, total-evilness of collating &
generating a custom section by munging relocs in other sections
might not be necessary after all: which would be lovely. Perhaps
just by merging & sorting sections in the right order, one
per vtable, life will be good.
- Amazed by Sun's purchase of MySQL, of course one wishes
them all the best. Lots of people mentioned possible synergies with
OO.o base - which sounds like a great idea; unfortunately linking GPL
stuff into the LGPL OO.o is in general a bad plan. Then of course, there is
the binary, and (I very much suspect) not very backwards-compatible
binary database which it would pay to keep outside of your .odb files.
Having said that, clearly a load of work is needed on Base,
in particular I'd love to see (and most of the code is there) a nice
migration wizard (using a remote/ODBC connection of course) from
Access to MySQL (or anything else) using the OO.o front-end - with
the VBA work from Novell, and extracting the forms etc. that would
be highly sweet.
- Ran evo in valgrind for much of the day; chewed through
the output looking for my problem, filed a couple of bugs.
- Cell group in the evening, call with Suzannah. Kate &
Milo Robson staying the night, great to see her & discuss our
plans.
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.
