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.

- First O'Shaughnessy lecture; an amazing character with an
incredible grasp of the English language and a honed intellect. Very amusing,
also we learn about Marketing under his tutelage, often about how daft it is.
Interesting to realise that selling your product may well be limited by the
pitiful imagination of your customers; its hard to re-engineer that really.
Also, by trivial factors such as there is a perception that vacuum cleaners
should be heavy; hence if your company produces a better, lighter one it won't
sell.
- Rowing, only an hour and a half; we are getting lots better
and beggining to run out of river, soon we'll have to do several 'circuits'.
Compensated for this by 'power' rowing whereas half the people try to stop
the boat whilst the others row firm pressure; more fun than it sounds.
- Found the braindeadness in my glade patch; it appears that ORBit
really doesn't like doing CORBA stuff before the main loop; stuck a chunk of
glade's file loading into a one shot idle handler.

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
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.
