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.

Dug at mail, wrote some unit tests, poked at gconf some more.
Discovered a chunk of time spend building 11k error messages during
XML parsing, that we subsequently threw away: gettext, g_strdup_printf
etc. committed the obvious patch. Filed the inherited attributes thing,
seemingly most of the remaining win is to remove the un-necessary l10n
strings in the main defaults/schemas file.

Staff meeting with Ralf, more mail thrash, poked at nautilus
startup - wow, waiting for b-a-s to start is a pain. Dinner with pretty
wifelet. Back to dig at b-a-s, grief the translation problem has
exploded in the .server files: 96% of the CPU time is spent parsing
XML; g_markup could clealy use a little optimisation love it seems:
~2Mb of .server file parsed in 240million pseudo-ops, 120 pseudo-ops
per character parsed seems a little excessive.
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.
