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.

having doing more:

reams of logs.

Disabled Vaultwarden's browser plugin - after the
performance horrors of re-scanning the DOM every keystroke - to

contrast between selected and un-selected window titles in
GNOME
in light-mode too on large-screen, tried highlight
focus for my keyboard only flow.

just her and eat out too, been a while.
