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, to work; pleased to read an interview
with Petr Mladek - who does such great working packaging
LibreOffice for openSUSE, and of course helps to run the LibreOffice
tagging / branching / release process.
-
Dug through bug spam, apparently lots of my reports are now
old, and thus hopefully fixed already. Wrote weekly status reports,
Clarity etc. Reviewed a patch or two, fixed a crasher. Dug out the
key
(setq tramp-mode nil) to make new emacs' responsive
around file opening / completion.
-
Read over the discussion about how to improve the LibreOffice
easy
hacks page which is a victim of its own success size-wise, some good
ideas there to improve things.
-
Fixed some broken image theme paths, reviewed some more nice
patches; prodded some python filters/ goodness.
-
Poked at gnu make to try to work out why it is statting the
same files hundreds (over a thousand in some cases) of times. Surely
one make instance shouldn't need to protect itself from random other
processes updating files (other than itself) while it is running ?
Surely the Makefile rules should specify what each command touches and
might dirty ? Interested to see, that despite my thesis that syscalls
are fast, a warm set of 700k stats to some deep path, take 2 seconds
on my machine in the kernel.
-
Fixed up some help dialog problems in master. Out for a goodbye
dinner with our American missionaries at All Saints, up late talking
to Ollie.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
