Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
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.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

Mail chew, suffering from T-bird / GNOME interacting
terribly badly - missing audible notifications of appointments,
and so on - repeatedly making me late for meetings - despite
adding innumerable reminders, tweaking the settings to play
tunes etc. Increasingly desperate for a simple shell-script
hook to just play a noise instead of notifying - but defeated by
business here. Dear lazyweb - does anyone have a simple
python-script to poll an iCal URL and provide popups /
notifications based on what is found ?

Planning call. Surreal TDF

reading it
carefully.
