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 lateish, off into Cambridge for china shopping,
( beware of Bulls ). Met Sean and Abbie for lunchlet, got a DVD
of The Matrix from Sean. Home, tried to get the machine to play
it, with some success.
- After struggling with Xv(ideo) on my uber cheap SiS
graphics card, and upgrading to Threads
Linux 7.3. Looking nice. DVD replay still jerking badly,
turned on DMA (hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd), and things got nice and
smooth.
- Turns out to be difficult to re-direct the audio to
my laptop to play; bought a cheap Creative / Ensoniq Audio/PCI
card, sndconfig lies about it (apparently), but adding 'alias
sound-slot-0 es1371' to /etc/modules.conf seems to work fine [
oh and finding which hole to plug the speakers into helps ].
- Watched the movie in the evening - good. Bed late.

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),

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.
