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.

Naomi's birthday, lots of fun - presents at breakfast; and
a crying Elizabeth (2) hiding under her folded up top; much
heart-rending comforting and re-assurance, that her time will come
too, in due course. Gleeful prize unpacking by N. and packed them
all off to school with J.
-
Prodded the mail, finally got around to replying to some of
the queued up backlog. Great to hear that Caolan McNamara (RedHat),
and Rene Engelhard (Debian) will be at FOSDEM too.
-
Set too building the latest master for a change. Read an
exellent article from Dave Neary on
community
building which hits the nail on the head as far as I can see.
-
Reviewed an ORBit2 patch (it's been a while), Lunch.
Reviewed Peter Jentsch's nice flat ODF patch, so you can export
easily to flat ODF files (which can then be processed easily by
various other ODF loving tools) - this is way faster than the
previous beast that gratuitously required Java; it even seems to
be on a par with (or faster than) writing to the zip encapsulation
which is interesting.
-
RIP Hudson, long live Jenkins.
I didn't realise it was a spare-time project later appropriated
by the corporate overlord, that makes the saga doubly unfortunate.
-
Lydia over, out to new-years, week-of-prayer meeting in
the evening.
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.
