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.

M. sick in the night, poor dear - very apologetic. Thank God she
has reached an age where the second round goes in a bowl, avoiding another
sheet reset. H. has done better - migrating to a stage where she sorts
herself out (mostly).
-
Breakfast, propped M. up listening to 'High Five' ( her name
for Enid Blighton's
'Five on a Treasure Island;).
-
Poked at kernel things, to my embarassment - my build succeeded,
but (it seems) the patch was using the wrong version of the cunning kernel
trace framework, and thus failed. Used a different kernel instead. Prodded
mail.
-
Why is it that firefox (3.5.3 for those interested), frequently goes
away into la-la land burning 100% CPU, doing (Lord knows what) - and that
then
pkill -9 -f firefox is your only way out ? - you would
think that closing tabs, until you have a single simple page left might
help: but apparently not; annoying.
-
Spent a while trying to make ureadahead build, then trying to check
out libnih - the latest openSUSE packaged bzr is too old apparently to do
that without requiring a launchpad account. Depressed to read libnih - surely
we can add some
void glib_init_allow_alloc_failure(void); method
such that the basic libglib-2.0.so pieces can be safely used
in system services ?
-
Call with Patrick. Discovered my kernel / glibc is too old to have
fiemap, only fibmap - the difference between a beautiful crisp extent based
world and a pixelized one - bother.
-
Out to cell group @ John & Alba's in the evening - good stuff.
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.
