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 early. Breakfast with David Faure, discussed my
thesis that XML sucks [ or at least it's not a the panacea that
it's mooted as by many ].
- Off to the conference hall - Steven lent me his TTF
fonts - cool, Christian helped get them working.
- Desparate hacking on my talk as yet still in outline
form. Quick lunch break, continued hacking, finished 10 minutes
beforehand.
- Went Ok, waved my snapped off car radio ariel at the
screen. Overran by ~10 minutes, too much material. Christian's
talk went well - very positive responses. Very much mobbed by
the mob, for Monkeys, T-Shirts, stickers, pens & all things
good and Gnomeish.
- Dog tired. Wandered around, coffee, ate at the
doorstop sandwitch shop. Relaxed a little, long and tedious
stuff - considered fleeing to Cambridge. Caught only the end
of Stephen's "Zero Copy, Hidden Dragon" talk - sad.
- Sat and got bored by people talking at extraordinaty
length about demographics, and plans for future conferences.
Managed to discover the issue with Unix sockets though ! :-)
Did manage to see Al & James'
Worldforge which looked very pretty.
- Off to the student bar ... drink but no food.
After wandering with Al & James through central Manchester for
a while we managed to discover a Chippie which was great.
- Back for some more refreshment & chat, then bed
early.

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.
