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.

Quickish planning call, partner sales call. Kate,
James & Penelope over for lunch - caught up with them.
-
Multi-partner call later in the afternoon, dinner,
mail chew - feeling somewhat unwell oddly.
-
Richard published the first pod-cast, Open Matters -
around Document Formats featuring yours truly geeking out on
some technical details underneath documents:
-
Mail chew, sync with Miklos, Chris & Gokay,
the marketing team, Naomi, Pedro & Eloy.
-
Intermittent patch review, call with Anna, dinner.
-
All Saints in the morning with H. - family service.
-
Home for Chicken Caeser lunch, played card games
with all girls, M. back from camp - played all together,
sang, relaxed in the sun - very lovely.
-
Out for a short walk with J. to the race-course,
nice to catch up.
-
Up lateish, helped J. remove some particularly
persistent stumps, helped H. revise some electronics, caught
up with misc. admin.
-
Plugged away at code reading, and chasing drawing
and invalidation left & right.
-
David over in the afternoon for a BBQ and a catch-up.
-
Sync with Dave on TORF. Partner call, plugged
away at admin backlog.
-
Added a frame-count to our debug overlay to catch
redundant re-renderings - and ... wow there are a lot,
silly.
-
Repaired Lenovo laptop returned - nice, need to
decide when to risk switching disks back to it.
-
Tech planning call, admin, partner call, sync with
Lily, then Karen. Call with Laser, quarterly new-joiners
Q&A and catch-up call.
-
Home-group.
-
Up early, enjoyed some KubeCon keynotes.
-
Published the next strip: the state of the roads - quality
and usage (or re-purposing) of software.
-
Quite a startling
scale of conference. Caught up with GregKH & Griffin, wandered
the show floor meeting new people and trying to understand things.
-
Quick lunch with Jono, final hall walking, and trains home,
poked at Chris' work to improve canvas rendering performance on the
way here and there.
-
Home, dinner, band-practice with H. in the evening.
-
Up early, dropped to the station early by J. Off
into London for Kubecon - after various train failure and
extra hacking time - evenutally arrived.
-
Met up with Joshua Lock. Enjoyed a series of
lightning talks; very digestible - despite my rather
superficial K8s understanding; lots of new FLOSS brands
and apparently complicated things for managing
complexity. Been a while since I've seen things
like Kueue as a brand.
-
Got a bit more hacking done, caught up with Mirko
Boehm, out to the House of Kube party from
PlatCo - who
kindly fed and watered lots of hackery types, with some
ear-drum banging noises too.
-
Sync with Aron, Anna, Miklos, lunch with H&N.
Marketing call, catch up with Naomi, mail chew, admin,
sync with Pedro. TDF board call - something of a
frenetic day somehow.
-
Dinner with the family, exhausted - bed early.
-
Up early, woke an exhausted H. - off to AllSaints
for some Organ, Piano & Violin action together.
Mothering Sunday - flowers for Mums.
-
Home for lunch, made Pizza and chatted; lovely
to have everyone the whole family back together again.
-
Sat around singing, chatting, resting. Babes
out to StAG while H. slept. Watched Clarkson's farm.
-
Up, breakfast in the garden with J. - helped to
remove yet another stump with chainsaw.
-
M. arrived home .
-
Plugged away at end-of-personal-tax-year admin.
Got a bit of hacking done! cleaned up debugging overlays,
added better tile management details and more.
-
Mail chew; stand-up, sync with Dave, packed T15pGen2
for shipping back to Lenovo - who kindly reminded me it is
in warranty still.
-
Upgraded J's laptop to openSUSE 15.6 and got printer
issue sorted. TTT on WebGL, sync with a partner, Margaret.
-
Some hacking, re-wrote some old JS code to use a new
TypeScript canvas section - faster and better.
-
Up early, mail chew, crit-sit stand-up, tech
planning call. Two interviews, 1:1 with Lilly fragmented
by helping to debug a multi-lang style serialization problem
with Miklos.
-
Got new printer - sadly replacing the old one's
fuser and accumulator belt cost more than a new one with
scan / copier built-in: shame. Karen dropped by to take it
off our hands.

Crit-sit stand-up call, catch-up with Dave,
last-stage interview.

PCC meeting in the evening.
