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.

- Got up late, attacked my broken laptop PSU. No screws to open it
totally sealed casing; strange. 15mins, a hacksaw, a chisel and an awl later
it sumbitted, thick plastic shell. Just to make sure it still wasn't working
I held it in my hand and switched on... Seemingly the reason for the tough
shell is that the innards are all live ( 240V RMS ). After recovering from
the shock I turned off and while disconnecting got bitten by the large
capacitor that lurks in there; doh. And the fault is irreperable worse luck.
- Boathouse, short run and a couple of hours on the river, my
technique was much worse than it was before Christmas, annoying. Also having
been stroke for ages its rather tough keeping time with other people.
- Engineers dinner went well; the new fellow got really drunk and
incoherent, that's supposed to be amusing I think.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE,
Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International),

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
or fun.
