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, projections, planning, patch porting; performance win
for idle JSON conversion of sidebars.

Intensely frustrated to (minor) update openSUSE 15.1, and
discover it jumped thunderbird from 60.8 to 68, breaking all of the
extensions needed to be productive - (eg. making it possible to move
E-mail between folders without getting RSI from mouse-use), horrible;
downgraded with trepidation.

TDF is making good progress on a carbon policy, but I was curious
as to how writing more efficient software might help here. Crunching some numbers
with a 50/50 desktop/laptop mix and a 65% increase from CPU use gives
~10^-5 kg of CO2 per CPU second you're not idle. Multiplying that by the
number of LibreOffice users 2x10^8 (pace Sir David MacKay) to get a big
number, that's around 2 tons of CO2 saved for every second of CPU busy
time that we can save our user-base; go optimizers!
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.
