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; wrote to three of my Euro MPs expressing my concerns around
ACTA; it turns
out that the Vice Chairman of the International Trade committee is my
MEP, how interesting.
-
Poked at tinderbox logs, and discovered and fixed a number of
nice bugs visible in the MSVC++ warnings (annoying). Filed more easy hacks.
-
Poked at the drawing object handles code, it seems pressing ctrl-tab
with a drawing object (in writer) selected lets you cycle through the
control-points using the keyboard, which flash; fun. Nailed the gtk+
timeout burn issue. Lunch.
-
Knocked up a small TLB thrashing test case
to highlight why memory arrangement of large data-sets can be really
important quite apart from cache issues. Noticed during development that I
could wedge my kernel repeatably (some no-swap + SSD joy); upgraded to
3.1.0 - the OOM killer seems much more trigger happy and useful; good.
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.
