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.

-
Up early; dug at odd gtk+ file-selector crasher; looks like
some glib async / threading thinko in gtk+, spammed the dev list.
-
Plugged away at mail, builds, generating some statistics,
etc. Lunch, team meeting, poked at some perl in make_installer.pl.
Merged the sal string size saving, perhaps some windows testing
required, but good to loose a Mb of cruft from the pagein / memory
footprint.
-
Dinner during TSC call, read babes stories; finished up
mail, poked at the reprap.
-
Suffered with gtk+ and gtkmm - trying
to create a simple combo box with two entries in it; choose one
of 'Fast' or 'Logick' a dozen of lines of odd code apparently
serving no useful purpose, and tens or so headers to read. Worse;
the simple, old API that would have made it easy: deprecated -
progress obviously. All that power, translated into lots of
questions and interfaces I don't want to deal with; shame.
Oh - and if glade-3 didn't (still) lay out all vboxes as
hboxes (when an Ubuntu user has touched the file), that would be
just great - presumably there is some good GUI way to create
simple models, if that were usable (end rant).
-
Printed out a 3D knot25 for fun,
interestingly, appreciated by the wife.
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.
