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.

- The children took turns to wake us in the night - hmm.
Up early, cycled H. to school, poked mail - what fun, sent Jon some
hints on swampy bits in the toolkit/vcl interaction. Read Kohei's nice
ScCompiler patch - finally, perhaps we can get the English to like
entering formulae into calc =SUM(1,2,3) (without hurting our
continental friends of course).
- Never realised that
Stephen Fry grasped technology issues as well as begin rather a
fine comedian.
- Thought I'd publish a (cryptic) internal presentation on
vtable relocations
I must say, the new chart color scheme is better - with a bit of
gradient and some prettier borders the result would it'd look incredible.
I'm looking forward to Armin's drawing-layer re-work landing.
- Reported / updated various bugs, extraordinary OOo dev mail
thread, chased an X server issue. Poked at a strange DT_NEEDED issue
with calendar-lookup-applet: most odd.
- Pleased to see IBM's Lotus Workplace code finally starting
to land in OO.o CVS, particularly the long-awaited Lotus Word-Pro
filter (at least for 1.1.x) - interesting to read the code having spent
too long trying, unsucessfully to unwind the binary file format - cool!
- Up very late waiting for a meeting with Kelli &
transcribing a sermon for Sunday; no meeting, bed 12pm.
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.
