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, breakfast, finished chewing my mail.
- Slogged on with misc. evil, tedious build issues,
building things is the worlds most boring thing to have to do,
things should just build perfectly.
- It seems that Chris has been doing some excellent
work on the OO.o build, reducing his footprint by 2Gb, by
linking instead of copying to the solver, and sorting out the
massivly painful lang-pack generation process; excellent chap.
- J. arrived home, lovely to see her again. She brought
the articles on the Varsity mis-reporting, the original Heads
Will Roll - Corrupt Uni officials abuse volentary fund
being fairly comprehensively retracted, using (substantially)
the recommended text.
- Nice to see the Editorial In the previous
edition ... we published ... serious allegations of criminality
and gross impropriety against ... Mrs Julia Meeks ...
We now accept that such allegations were undeserved and
unjustified and would like to sincerely apologise ... for the
embarassment and disress which they and their families and
friends have been caused - Sadly not covering the full
front page, next to a picture of a guillotine, but good enough.
- Interesting to see the seemingly courteous tones
that lawyers seem to use, even with an extremely serious libel.
Gravely and unjustifiably defaming my other half, causing severe
distress. Shame they didn't publish the retraction in a position
of equal prominence. All remedies should clearly be expressly
reserved. Hopefully Luke Layfield has learned his lesson and will
emerge a more accurate, friendly and less amateur journalist.
- Off to Unit 11 to do some painting, and scraping
muck off the floor; talked to Tim who works for Marshals
Special Vehicles - things like a Bilogical, Chemical and
Nuclear weapon proof, mobile hospitals for the armed forces,
amongst other interesting things.
- Back to bed.
