Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Poked at my buildbot slave, got the remote hostname wrong, fixed that, and onto another error; not the easiest thing to setup clearly. Call with Jakub - hacking away at some beautiful new Tango icons for OO.o, unwound some cvs/cws problems.
Read Eike's link to the OpenFormula wiki page; most of it seems excellent, except the "Doesn't mandate mistakes" piece. Ultimately good interoperability mandates biting your fist, and at least supporting the same mistakes as codified in some staggering chunk of the world's extant spreadsheets. The rest of the text looks reasonable, but extrapolating the "lets go for 'beautiful' instead of interoperable" mentality, and adding the "oh but we have to be compatible with old StarOffice files" (which of course add just a different set of 'mistakes' and data loss from previous imperfect imports) may well drive everything into the ground. Of course - since many implementors are going to have to implement some of these mistakes, standardizing hints for annotating that would be rather a good idea surely ?
Did some analysis of war-pig cold-start strace output, only 29secs to start, hmm. Isolated (& fixed?) an incredible writer (numeric) table sorting bug. Out to hoover the church, scrub toilets etc.
Call with Mike & Prasad, chewed over the build-bot, Prasad fixed my BuildBot problem on the server. Dinner, back to hack, further improved the writer sort patch. Hacked at my LXF column ...
