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, chewed through tasks, did a tiny bit of hacking on liblibreoffice (and broke some tinderboxes to boot), fun. Lunch. ESC call and posted minutes.
Pleased to see Caolan's nice blog entry on The Death of UniString - good riddance: you can't have too few string classes; now if only we could use UTF-8 strings everywhere we could save some megabytes of memory, and perhaps improve performance at the same time - but that's going to need much more string functionality in OUString rather than layered above it to be efficient.
Fine parsnip soup dinner, older babes out to a disco, put 'littlies' to bed, back to work, sync. with Olivier, caught up with Kohei, a little hackery & bed.

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.
