Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Dropped the kids to school, dug at bugzilla and E-mail. Good to see Nat's Everyone dials in blog - good sense written well.
Really interested to see The IP implications of low-cost 3D printing published. I was unaware of the existing, relative sanity of the law in the UK in this area: still perhaps that is to be expected, cf. non-patentability of Software / Business Process. Hopefully the US is similar, without some "make your own cookie-cutter at your peril !" patent policy on general objects.
Great to see that Federico tracked down and fixed the gconf-dbus bug with missing notifications that was hurting Evolution on MeeGo, nice work; fixed a nasty in the GConf patch around lists; much better. Got a bus-load of excellent bootchart2 fixes from Kel Modderman - great stuff.
Lunch. Prodded at LXF column vaguely. My machine hangs when running make update-po in Evolution - nice, the thermal management / software CPU throttling problems of yester-year return (it seems); with a nearby desk fan - life is better. Surely the problem is not sufficiently difficult that we really need to take 10 CPU minutes to crunch it ? or is it ? OpenOffice's help translation takes a similar time.
Claire came over after dinner, great to catch up with her, and some of her interesting medical engineering problems.

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.
