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.

Glad that you can't fool everyone all of the time: Sun's still
screwing up. Nowhere is that more evident than in
OpenOffice.org: strangled on the alter of Sun's proprietary
advantage. When will we have a project that is run for the
benefit of the project itself ? by people who care about the
long term viability & world-dominating prospects of the
code ?

Poked mail, features & bugs. Still blundered on
removing inlines, and got UML to compile and even run
eventually: really sweet for using a debugger to understand
code flow; still can't find my hard-copy of RML's magnum
opus though.

Spent a while digging at OO.o build infrastructure,
and source packaging, tried chopping up the source another way.
Amused during the work to appreciate an outbreak of humour from
the Strba, apparently the unpack script nowadays has:
echo "Unpacking OO.o build tree - [ go and have some $DRINK ] ..."
with a fully configurable:
AC_ARG_WITH(drink,
[
--with-drink The parameter is a favourite drink that unpack should advice you to take.
Example: --with-drink=coffee],
,)
- the joys of community; tweaked the spelling: 'advise' - thank
goodness the default is still tea (for the UK), and not Coca-Cola.
Chat with Rene.
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.
