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 Ntl people arrived, and fitted
a new cable-modem, after some protracted struggling with
their registration process, I managed to get on-line,
horay.
- 2000 Emails to chew, bother, red-carpet to
test the bandwidth - 75Kb/sec (Red Carpet Express rocks)
while pulling mail - rather better than that BT ADSL stuff.
Committed my at-poke work. Did a libbonobo-1.113.0 release,
with the new API for Nautilus acceleration.
- Co-ordinated with Anders, and did
bonobo-activation-0.9.6 and libbonoboui-1.113.0
releases, fired off the release notes to gcl.
- Pain with the Swedish Congrex people, it seems
they are determined not to re-imburse me for my expenses
going to their conference. They demand the original receipts
that I cannot give them without paying 40% of the cost myself,
and refuse to accept that I am a self employed person who can
be paid money. Of course normally you'd expect a conference to
book the flights for you, but this one - determined to save a
few pence seems to revel in wasting speakers time by the half
day with profligate abandon.
- Fixed a trivial 'crashes on startup' bug in
Nautilus, doing sillies with the desktop window. J'
arrived home, very pleased with the switch I'd attached
to the fairy lights over her bed; good.
- Fixed another nautilus bug and carried on
poking around with at-poke. Reported more bugs.
- Yvonne arrived and we had dinner, and sat by
the fire - which works beautifully without the excessive
pain of total cleaning each usage. Bed.

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.
