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.

Sitting at work, hacking away - and the dead server, that hasn't
responded to the power button & been has most obstreporous - decided
to spontaneously switch itself on: nice - useful for kernel building. At
least that isolates some strange wake-on-lan problem - since it wasn't
plugged in; seems to be temperature related instead - with the electric
heater on for a bit - finally, the unofficial room heater is back in
order. If only I could find a solution for that row of intermittently
black pixels in my T60 LCD, and a new R40 fan assembly - all computers
would be well again.

Spent a loong time fiddling with the kernel tracing infrastructure,
all these multiply processed, magic macros are well & good until
something goes wrong, and it is impossible to work out which line
contains the error; or you need to do something that hasn't been
anticipated. Eventually gave up, and wrote a new set of tracing
helpers for files.

Spammed an un-suspecting GregKH with my patch. Worked on LXF
column at some length.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
