Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

To work, trawled bugs - pleased to see Srini's nice patch to sync evo message state more regularly, which (apart from fixing my minor gripe) speeds up folder switching and other things too. Some heroic work from Kurt Garloff appeared from no-where too, wow.
Up-loaded my OOoCon slides on toolkit layout, layout is a great way to get involved with OO.o and improve the look of the beast.

I have no idea who added this cool feature to OpenSUSE, but I'm loving it:

$ gimp bootchart-with-1.png 

The program 'gimp' can be found in the following package:
  * gimp [ path: /usr/bin/gimp, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]

Try installing with: sudo zypper install gimp

bash: gimp: command not found

such prettiness makes me forget my sadness at not being able to (eg.) have a complete development toolchain on the Live-CD.

Lunch, Lydia came over, more mail, call with Jon, OMT fun. Stefan Seyfried pointed out the nice printk.time=1 kernel parameter for performance tuning; interesting. Filed misc. bugs.

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.
