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.

A new month; walked the babes to school in new shoes;
some not inconsiderable pain in the heels - a little reminiscent
of suddenly having to make libreoffice /actually/ build for lots
of people, on different systems rather suddenly - and without
any excuses.
-
Plugged away at
the binfilter - unfortunately, corrupting memory in destructors
called at exit. Dis-satisfied with intermittent brokenness around
heap corruption, fixed (and deferred) the svx part also trivially
accelerating startup, Caolan has some similar mutex / thread related
crash fixes to go in too. Re-started the build.
-
Lunch, came back to a build - the joys of a 6 CPU icecream cluster. Fixed python sillies
for installation using system-python (so gdb works), and got a
nice working, debuggable build; great. Updated the website to
build like that, and without the (now fixed) binfilter. Tested
equivalent svx crash-on-exit fix, and pushed it.
-
Tweaked the LibreOffice
easy hacks page, and added a few more useful pieces. Plugged
through a 'self review' in some infernal internal personel
management web tool.
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.
