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; poked at mail etc. Extremely pleased to see Nat's pet project
(SUSE Studio)
get announced publicly for the first time at LinuxTag. There is some minimal
screencast (NB. it takes some time to load in the popup). As you expect from
the Friedman Franchise, it's extremely cool: if you build virtual appliances,
you'll be wanting to sign up to have a play. Conversely if you just havn't got
into this whole virtualisation thing, now is a good time to start - made easy
for you by:
-
Chat with Alex - who has an exciting plan around KVM & Xenner.
Filed my clock time set fix; dug at strange firefox / theme change crasher
issue. Found, analysed & filed a nasty file-selector crasher for
Federico; Lunch. Dunged out some longer term bugs, core team meeting.
-
Poked at a11y for tools running as root; apparently there is no good
way to do this securely. Probably the best approach is for the root runnign
tool to detect the user account for which it is running, and create it's
sockets in /tmp/orbit-$USER for them - with relevant permissions. Currently
connecting to the registryd works fine, but getting ORCA to connect back
doesn't.
-
Watched Howl's Moving Castle again, some great artwork - admiring the
castle (built by
a daemon) - it's tempting to make comparisons with various pieces of software.
There are some suspiciously over-engineered guns poking out everywhere, as
everywhere in the fine parody of an over-militarised society.
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.
