Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
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.

- Up early, to work, call with Lenovo's "Billy" -
apparently delays getting anything fixed. Call with Jurgen,
Kay & Noel - good stuff. Poked the yast2 team wrt.
commit problems to the public forge.
- Ported my unit tests for cppuhelper to the new
testshl2 framework (cf.
sal/qa/rtl/* for examples
of how to do that), and also ported the obsolete tests that
had ruined my day before to the new framework & binned the
old ones in cppuhelpshrink. So - now the CWS saves 700+kb from
writer startup, and includes new unit tests & cleanups - I
wonder, what is the next objection ?
- Conference call, built/installed HEAD mono &
did a new odf-converter snapshot. Stefan wanted yet more tests,
hacked them up, more 'typename' use in templatised function -
wow the compiler gets nice and slow when you use simple
templates (apparently, or perhaps the brain has to work
faster ?).
- Stefan wanted more tests; sigh. Wrote more.
Amused / amazed to see an @sco.com E-mail address on a
list: John Wolfe porting OO.o to their OpenServer 6
platform, glad, despite their mind-mangled legal issues,
they've got their priorities at least slightly right:
invest in OO.o.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
