Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

To the conference; tried to get Kendy productive again with the latest GNOME 3.6 - which appears to have killed scroll buttons in the bars - tried to unwind the issue and turn them back on; hunted for options - none, hunted in gnome-tweak-tool: nothing, hunted for themes to use / install - unable to easily find/install one that restored the ability to use evolution with large mail folders. Turned to the gtk theme css to try to tweak it, getting lost in some @url(resource://not/a/path) construct. Eventually begged for help from on IRC (thanks desrt !): apparently the solution is a scroll-wheel (laptop), or a touch-pad with a scroll side-bar (disabled), finally 'discovered' middle-button and nipple drag: urk - the solution is apparently more training - 30 man-minutes+ burned.
Built ESC bug stats, poked at another area for some profiling. Spent a while reviewing our progress as a team since last year - encouraging to see that some of the significant bugs/features from our brain-storming last year are now closed by either us or the community. Generated a lot more for good measure. Out to a rather fine restaurant near an attractive monestary, wandered back in the dark, chat with Simon.

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.
