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.

- Up late; discovered trna's disk was full, mail must be
piling up somewhere.
- Got on with getting Monikers back into top shape again,
Dietmar in-proc componentized some of it: nice; finished the stream
and file extenders.
- Off to London; took 2 1/2 hours to get to the Barbican
center for a performance of the Messiah; met Mike and his lady: Catherine
on the tube - wierd. Ben my Organ Scholar friend wrote this about the
concert:
- The sixteen (numbering curisously nineteen) again proved their
worth responding to Handel's masterpiece with a subtelty and vocal
dexterity sadly absent from so many hearty village singalongs. Having
selected soloists of proven worth the organisers played safe with the
many arias, which indeed did not disappoint, but the striking part of
the early exchanges was the crisp articulation and coordination of the
chamber orchestra. Nevertheless the Messiah is all about the
barnstorming chorusses, and with the choir on such good form the house
was treated to a rousing rendition of And the Glory of the Lord, and
the no less striking Alleuia Chorus, complete with risen audience. A
haunting performance of I know that my redeemer liveth led us
perfectly into the final chorus, which one could feel echoing down the
corridors of a very satisfied Barbican Centre.
- Precicely; and so I got on with various Bonobo tasks on
the train.
- Committed a slurp of stuff; chewed mail awhile,
My content in this blog and associated images / data under

created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0

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),
or anyone else.
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.
