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 late, beautiful clear day, clear skies, lovely view
of the mountains all around. Quick breakfast, and set off for
Aminona - a place with more interesting pistes. La Tza much higher
than Signal, the snowflakes glistening in the sun like falling
glitter as we went up, and the snow enveloping the mountains like
sequined, draped silk.
- Started off on the smallest slope, then a slightly
longer one, and finally a nicer chair-lifted, longer, steeper, better
slope ( still graded easy ).
- After a couple of runs had lunch in the hut, chips and
Apfelsaft for Julia. Then back out onto the main slope, and a couple
of smaller slopes and back to the main one to finish. Most satisfactory.
Fell only once while playing turning on the spot. Lots more
side-slipping action - good.
- Started to plough happily down the steepest bits. Feet
dying, so rested and did a final run before heading home at 3.30pm -
half an hour before leg breaking time. Lots of other crazy people
going directly down the mountainside off-piste - wierd tracks of
(presumably) recently healthy boarders. Some crazy people seem to
insist on skiing where they can have no clue what is below them.
Others jumping over ramps etc.
- Back to the flat, and immediately out to walk up the hill
to the cake shop. Stocked up and back for slugging.
- Brochettes and misc. veg for dinner - watched some of
the Thriller films, and further annotated them for future
reference. Watched Up Close - a worryingly self-obsessed piece
of propaganda for the appalling US 'news' industry.
- Bed earlyish.

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