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.

Poked at some hackery, added some debugging bits to the
forkit to chase a problem. Submitted a LibOCon paper
really looking forward to meeting up with people in person. And
continued working on our very awesome (but no longer co-located)
COOL
days which will be in Berlin immediately afterwards with Eloy.
-
Mail chew, catch-up calls left & right; calls with
interns & Pedro.

Band practice with H. in the evening ; chat with Thorsten.
-
David arrived early, off into London together - long tube
ride, admired the Elizabeth line with E. - out to Grenwich Park
for lunch. Checked out a camera-assisted Aldi test-store: taking
things and putting them in your bag makes you feel like a
shop-lifter oddly.
-
On to the Nautical museum, Queens museum, then enjoyed
climbing over the Millennium dome as a family with David,
Wagamamas afterwards, tube/drive home.
-
Mail chew, planning call, partner call, sat in on the first
part of the TDF board call. Setup calls with interns, tried to clear
various decks approaching holidays.

All Saints in the morning, Alex played Bass for the 1st time:
nice, can play the violin instead. Pizza lunch. Read LOTR to babes.
Cleaned up and circulated the PCC minutes.
-
Up; poked at mail briefly; out to get some skirting
from the wonderful Barhams,
great service. Home, lunch, fitted in J's counselling room,
cut holes for lights.
-
Did two on-line Anglican SafeGuarding courses of 90mins
each, less traumatic than feared - and mostly common sense it
seems.
-
H's birthday - two back-to-back celebrations of babes.
Out to Holkham beach - enjoyed prolonged slugging & slept
in the sun for a bit while babes chatted, paddled & played.
Fish & Chips on the way home.
-
J's 50th birthday, babes prepared a cooked breakfast
for her, presents, cards. 1:1 with Miklos, COOL community call.
Assembled J's swinging seat with the babes over lunch.

and encouragement. Home for a pizza lunch. Got Time & S.
into windlands on Quest in the afternoon. Prince of Egypt
in the evening, tea, bed.
-
Up early, got a number of things sorted out around the
house - windows insulated, tried to adjust M's bloc-blind which
seems to want to cut a hole in itself.
-
Tim & Suzie, and family
over after lunch - lovely to see them, rested outside in the
garden for a while and caught up on SIL, Thailand, software,
Graphite and more.

antibiotics.

LibreOffice is finding customers who want to make a positive impact to
FLOSS by getting support; with thanks to Gerald.

group in the evening.

Mail chew, holding the fort for Eloy in sales: fun.
Dev show & tell from most of the team at lunch-time, with some
