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.

Poked at mail; purchased a heated bed and some PLA for my repstrap -
perhaps, together these will solve my warping problems, and allow me to
finish my reprap (who knows); Christmas cometh but once per year. Reviewed
and merged a number of nice patches and cleanups from various hackers.
-
Discovered that upgrading my glib/gio broke default associations,
by which I mean getting the wrong browser for links, and Evolution not
spawning mailto:'s correctly. Dug
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list
out of the strace, and fixed it manually.

Posted the minutes
from the LibreOffice tech steering call yesterday. Amused by the Red Molotov
T-shirt with the legend: Fat people are harder to kidnap; amusing.
Elizabeth on her own initiative decided it was time to get Daddy for lunch,
only for me to discover (after dis-engaging) it was an non-maternally-authorised
interruption, fun.
-
Out to Derek Llewelyn's funeral,
at All Saints; a man of great faith & an inspiration to many it seems.
-
Chat with Thorsten, quick dinner, out to the School Faire - with
the three smallest babes, met a 'Father Christmas' beard-alike, returned
fiscally milked. Reviewed some patches - I love to remove these chunks of
old, commented code beginning
// why do we need the code below ?.
-
Dusted off, and setup my Win32 machine again - it has been quite some
moons since it was needed. Dug at Win32 / NSIS scripts, bitmap branding, and
so on: what fun, the things we do to make Brazilians happy...
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.
