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.

A new month; walked the babes to school in new shoes;
some not inconsiderable pain in the heels - a little reminiscent
of suddenly having to make libreoffice /actually/ build for lots
of people, on different systems rather suddenly - and without
any excuses.
-
Plugged away at
the binfilter - unfortunately, corrupting memory in destructors
called at exit. Dis-satisfied with intermittent brokenness around
heap corruption, fixed (and deferred) the svx part also trivially
accelerating startup, Caolan has some similar mutex / thread related
crash fixes to go in too. Re-started the build.
-
Lunch, came back to a build - the joys of a 6 CPU icecream cluster. Fixed python sillies
for installation using system-python (so gdb works), and got a
nice working, debuggable build; great. Updated the website to
build like that, and without the (now fixed) binfilter. Tested
equivalent svx crash-on-exit fix, and pushed it.
-
Tweaked the LibreOffice
easy hacks page, and added a few more useful pieces. Plugged
through a 'self review' in some infernal internal personel
management web tool.
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.
