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, prodded lots of encouraging mail; pushed some minor
tweaks, pushed a screenshot
of my prototype style preview patch
(inspired by Ricardo Cruz's work), to make style selection easier - it'd be
wonderful to have someone to take that further while I'm distracted elsewhere.
-
Crunched some statistics, got past mail; prodded at gtk3 bits.
Built on Caolan's good start to the work, and got something rendering pixels
without any theming, but reasonably robust. Quite a bit more work required
to target the backend at cairo, and rid ourselves of the X backend I think,
particularly wrt. the
ROP_XOR nastiness, either that or abandon
X rendering of most things in favour of basegfx and just chuck
pixels around. Pushed the prototype to master:
--enable-gtk3 --with-system-cairo fun.
-
Dinner, put babes to bed. Out to see X-Men First Class in Bury
with some of the lads from Church: Brian, Simon & Chris - fun in
some ways. Most curious to see the eugenic motif ultimately adopted by
one of its initial, show-case victims - que ?. Similarly extraordinary
given the film's message, and the primarily white racial representation
to have the token coloured person killed early on with some failing
to evolve idea: weirdly disturbing - can you make this stuff up ?
-
Call with Jonathan, home late, worked, bed.

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,

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.
