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.

Packed babes off to school; chewed mail, listened to
SUSE quarterly update call. Off to Cambridge on the train,
lunch with Rob & Guy, good to catch up, train home.
-
Caught up with hideous mail / spam-filter / delivery
issues making my life quieter than usual; merged a patch, back
to digging into passive registration. Found a strange un-necessary
activation of the component we had carefully passively registered,
removed it - bingo; much cleaner / faster startup - poked Stephan
for validation etc. Hopefully this will clean out Windows' users'
first-time experience of endless complaints about missing a JRE,
and push that back to when an extensions is actually used.
-
Interested by Lubos' nice analysis of a Qt threading
issue,
though I hope
we can solve it more elegantly (looking at moveToThread
I'm not so sure). I thought it was only ORBit2 that had magic code
to check the thread-id we were initialized in and behaved differently
there for compatibility (due to missing gmain API way back when).
-
Spent a long while trying to get an Arduino Mega boot-loader
to load, without success; irritatingly the Pololu AVR programmer
seems unusable from the arduino environment. Chat with Legal in the
background.
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.
