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, poked at a horrendous b-a-s deadlock, exacerbated
by an un-diagnosed re-connection issue, hmm. Chewed & spewed mail,
filed bugs.
- Got the GeodeLX xorg driver to do it's bit, at least some
things are accelerated now, and a higher-res screen too.
- Poked at metacity, hacked up the client composite version
detection for cow / named windows & sent to Thomas. Poked at gdm
apparently there were a load of XDMCP fixes for horrific breakage that
we missed in SL10.3, filed bug.
- Apparently the hideous fglrx external monitor driver bugs
are un-fixable, and pessimism reigns: the joys of closed-source
drivers. Switching to radeonhd looks like an attractive option.
- Dinner, J. out for lunch, conference call with Rich, Guy
& co. call with Guy & David Reveman afterwards: an expert's
insight into compositing problems.
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.
