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 earlyish, off to dentist for some poking and X-raying of
teeth, inconclusive (on the bright side: apparently I do have teeth),
got a gum-impression instead to avoid grinding damage.
-
Back, mail; fixed a gtk related tinderbox breakage, reduced
the warning count for degenerate cases of headless clipping. Printed
& snail-mailed some receipts. Updated the 3.5 features
page another month+ until feature freeze and we're looking good.
-
Helped Julian setup #valgrind-dev on freenode a channel for
valgrind developers to work together in. Really pleased to notice
GNOME 3 getting a beautiful desktop device icon right for my gphone
(just in time for the desktop not to have icons on it anymore by
default). Unwound the junk-mail folder.
-
Lunch. Team meeting. One talk that was a real eye-opener
from the LibreOffice conference was Laszlo Nemeth's (given by
Andras) Towards
Desktop Publishing - showing off some of the sexy DTP features
in LibreOffice (I hadn't realised we had linked frames, done via
inserting a new empty frame and using the link icon in the
frame toolbar). That combined with pretty graphite2 features gives
a rather nice output (as you can see in the slides). Bounced some
ideas for some easy hacks in this area off the UI advise list.
-
TSC meeting & minutes to the list. Thomas arrived,
visiting from Boston. Pottered around comparing notes on life,
electronics, work & things. Dinner, up late talking: brothers
are fun, makes me wonder why I'm so bad at keeping up.
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.
