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.

Mail chew; dug around at module deps some more, rather addictive
producing pretty graphs, will have to drop it now. master's 'make dump-deps'
produces graphviz output by using the new gnumake work that renders:
There are some interesting things to note here:
- The bottom is very wide - tons of pieces of code depend only on
cppuhelper (and usually some external libraries which are elided in the graph);
that means there are a good number of 'pure' UNO components in use. Naturally
there are lots of run-time dependencies on this lot, but they are broken by
UNO interfaces.
- Looking a little higher up, some components use 'comphelper' - a
richer set of UNO component helpers also provides enough for another large set
of libraries.
- While the picture is a little crazy - many of these libraries being
required nearly permanently, gnumake also enables a 'merged-lib' mode of building
where we compact very many of these libraries into a single object.
- There is a lot of nice prettification
possible though for anyone interested in a little hacking
(code)
and no doubt some debugging of perl.

Booked a flight to speak at a ComputerWorld conference in Hungary
21st March. Good to get 4.0.1 out
with 120+ bug fixes and more - including some great CMIS and Android Remote
improvements.

Picked M. up from Beavers - her first time; cell group in the evening.

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.
