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, off to return the (unmarked)
'Win' Modem I purchased yesterday a 'Dynalink' miracle
of technology. Bought a standard modem instead, insisted
on getting an AOL subsription pack - a local ISP is no
use to me, and hey - AOL are a big company, they must be
good.
- Resigned to installing it on a Windows computer
to suck the settings for PPP etc. out; spent ages installing
the thing - only to discover that (now I can search on-line)
that the service is utterly useless to Linux users. Frustrated
almost beyond words; tried to control myself whilst immediately
canceling my account - still, they got $24-95 out of me.
Dumbfounding - I should have gone with a cheap local ISP
instead.
- Finaly managed to get PPP working via someone else'
thing. Magicaly Red Hat turn off chat PPP debugging by default
which sucks rocks. Furthermore, Australians seem to insist on
using 'Username:' intead of '[Ll]ogin:' which sucks even more
badly.
- Started pulling 16Mb of mail over the modem ...
hmm, committed libbonobo bits, started pushing some mail.
- Chewed mail - suprisingly little of interest so far,
amazing; you stop writing to people ... and they just stop
writing to you.
- J' arrived home, went for a nice run together
while dinner cooked itself in t'oven. Bible study, Bed.

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