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.

To work, chat with Caolan, call with Eric, wrote some
notes up. Chewed through mail, early lunch. Train to parents to
get early / cheap flight tomorrow to Nurnberg.
-
Enjoyed the train ride - tried to merge Thorsten's patch
to make my C++ - more C++'y. Thus started the waste of my afternoon:
all in a good cause - learning to hate C++ ever more viscerally.
Feeling happy & enthusiastic - try reading the boost headers, or
even navigating the docs off-line; wondering where that special class
is hidden ? try the evocatively named 'tr1' sub-section; what a giant
pain of pain. At least stl has semi-readable headers vs. boost.
Finally came up with a scheme at least to hide the ref-count vs.
explicit 'delete' lifecycle semantic mismatch inside my code, which
failed to work too, bother.
-
Eventually arrived, at the parents, dinner, nice to catch up.
Despaired, undid all the prettification in favour of something that
'actually works and is simple', yet more wastage; bother.
Caught up a bit with the parents.

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),

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.
