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, took babes to school - sliding on the ice
here and there in the car. Plugged up every available spare
netbook in the area to beef up my icecream build farm; thirteen
CPUs (or hyper-threads) going at it all at once - nice quick
LibreOffice builds.
-
Dug through the surface of the mail queue, fixed
configure options so we have the best / easiest defaults
wherever possible for new hackers (once again). Great to see
Ricardo involved again, hacking away at VCL / layout. Joe
wrote a nice review of our progress yesterday it seems.
-
Plugged away at Gert's fun OLE object export patch;
merged it as an experimental feature for now. Chewed over java
bits, it seems we can default to without-java if Kendy's fix
really nailed the deluge-of-annoying-you-need-a-jre warnings
bug (rather a pre-requisite). Scratched head to produce more
easy hacks to be done.
-
Did some more python learning / training with Hannah
in the evening - not sure if it is the best place to start
(urgh), but still I started with BBC BASIC, and then moved
onto an assembler-up understanding of the stack, so perhaps
it will work out; got the concept of a variable embedded
(somehow). LibreOffice call in the evening worked late.
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.
