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.

Re-read Lennart's Out Of Memory
(OOM) handling bloglet / link. I must say, I completely agree - but, I
think it is still worthwhile adding failed-malloc handling to glib for
two reasons: firstly, it is not hard to do for some methods, and adds no
real performance impact; and secondly - code duplication is worse
than bogus and irrelevant OOM handling, and not being able to handled
failed mallocs is frequently heard as an excuse to re-write working
code ( thus, incidentally also bringing OOM closer by having yet-another
linked-list, hash-table, etc. etc. implementation in hot memory ).

Hacked at bootchart2 a little, hugely improved the interactive
rendering speed by taking account of the visible area, rather than
relying on cairo to crop everything.

Phone interview, admin. Prodded at a new recovery enabled mbr

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.
