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, to work; interested to see that the latest gdb disables python pretty-printers (most odd), the trick is to extend the un-breaking-of-defaults that all hackers need in their ~/.gdbinit to include:
```
handle SIGPIPE SIGXCPU SIG33 SIG35 SIGPWR nostop noprint
add-auto-load-safe-path /
```
(thanks Miklos).
Dug around at some nasty package/ zip size issues; it seems creating spreadsheets that are > 2Gb of un-compressed data is rather easy to do. Added some exceptions on save to avoid disappointment on load, upped the limit to 4Gb, and prepped the package/ code for ZIP64.
Lunch. Reviewed Markus' slew of lovely fixes for 3.6.2.

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.
