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, the alarm failed to go off but J's body
clock rescued us. Breakfast & J' to her meeting, I went off to
hack. Bill still vacillating, committed my code to the 'fixups'
branch in at-spi.
- Got a Taxi to Budget and rented a nippy little car.
Set off up north towards Taupo. The NZ scenery is extraordinary,
so mountainous, but extremely green and often cultivated.
- Stopped at some one horse town on the way to get
lunch, and spotted the first of the volcanoes around the bluff
of a hill, snow capped and extraordinarily beautiful.
- We drove around the west side of the huge range of
mountains. One looking extremely conical with a clearly visible
crater at the top, the other apparently an older cone, with it's
top substantialy missing.
- Got to Taupo and somewhat dismayed at the prospect of
staying in a motel, decided to head outside to a B&B at Kinloch
which was 15 mins drive north. Impressive roads, easy to drive
at 100kmph, with no problems at the corners and no one on them
seemingly.
- Found a nice B&B with an old London copper: Paul
and his Kiwi wife Elisabeth, great German Shephard fans, who made
us a nice cup of tea. Went to look at the lake, extremely
clear water, and lots of strange rock on the beach. Very crumbly
and floated on the water, most pretty.
- Dinner in the town, and back to bed early.

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
