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
- More UVC setup, poked mail, chased a gtkhtml2 issue:
filed with a valgrind log. Battled X - my Ati FireGL flickers the
external crt1 (only) as I press keys or move the mouse - amazing:
fought it for a while, before trying to persuade another Intel
card, then another Ati card to drive the 1920x1200 beast sensibly.
- Nick over for lunch. Then trying to get
X -query foo to
work - gdm reports WARNING: gdm_xdmcp_handle_manage: Failed
to look up session id random-number - irritating in
the extreme.
- Long call with Patrick & co. Back to work in the
evening. Interestingly, metacity (once you fix the assumption that
because the local machine has the latest composite extension, the
remote X server must too) works rather better via remote X to my
Ati RageXL, than it does locally, amazing. Discovered my screen
corruption was prolly down to a (now fixed) bug in the Damage
impl. in older fglrx drivers.
- Alex wanted to read my vtreloc patches (
binutils,
glibc,
gcc)
of course, not finished yet. Managed to remove the 'stable-x86'
pieces that had mangled my system, and get back to a more
reasonable state, albeit without the latest evolution (sadly).
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.
