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; mail chew, dead pleased to discover that the yast2-gtk
bugs I've been fretting about for ages have already been fixed by Federico;
nice. Tried to get VirtualBox running - what excuse for a custom kernel
module is there in the days of KVM ? horribly annoying; tried to re-build
the spec. for the latest stable kernel - failure; yuck - what a waste of
time. Why is it that I can use KVM without a hassle, but then the VM / disk
images are in some uselessly non-exchangeable format ?
-
Dug at misc. patches, a CUPS issue; mail. Out for lunch with J.
Eventually got a VM setup, now to trying to make GNOME behave well
inside it; first fallback mode - rendering needs to be fast; eventually
found the gnome-tweak-tool button to persuade nautilus to render the
desktop, so I can drop a single, nice big "click here" icon launcher
on the desktop; phew.
-
Out for lunch with J. in Bury - looked for a better office chair.
Fixed a libcanberra issue, and re-visited the osc branch / sr magic
with DimStar's kind help. Worked late. Started reading C. Peter Wagner on
Spiritual Warfare - substantially unconvinced at his take.

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,

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.
