With the help of Pavel, we found the issue and filed the issue. You can track it’s progress in issue… Continue reading My first Priority 1 OOo Bug

Buildbot now seems to be predicting ETA
To my surprise, the build master is now estimating the time till the current build completes, and it is updating throughout the build too. Unfortunately it gives the time as the time zone PDT, thus you have to do some awkward calculation it get it to your local time zone. When building the CWSs, it… Continue reading Buildbot now seems to be predicting ETA
Mac buildbot setup
I now have a working buildbot that takes about 8 hours to do a full compile. Of course I forgot to check the option to upload the install set to the build master, so here I go and run the build again. Hopefully future compiles will take less time since I have installed ccache prior… Continue reading Mac buildbot setup

Blogger Beta
For those who read this blog, you will notice that it has changed a little. That’s because I now have the new Blogger Beta, which is much better. I’ll slowly be going through some of my older posts to add some labels to them, so it will be easier to find info.
OOoCon2006 and Apple Expo
It was quite some trip to France, considering my rather minimal French knowledge. I survived even with the communication barrier. I also found it quite a tiresome journey too, especially with getting very little sleep on the coach overnight from Edinburgh to London. I sorted it out for the return by taking a fleece on… Continue reading OOoCon2006 and Apple Expo
Random Shutdown on my MacBook
I’ve sent my MacBook away to Apple to be repaired as it now has the random shutdown problem. It took nearly 30 minutes on the phone to AppleCare to get the empty box sent out by UPS. The guy from UPS took it away straight away and was happy enough to stand there while I… Continue reading Random Shutdown on my MacBook
