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 at 1am, getting a cold too. Hacked around,
a morbid level of RH interest in OO.o is emerging, and
Home/End doesn't work in the new emacs. Spoke to Federico
at length.
- Particularly amusing to see CORBA as the no.1
standard
on freedesktop.org, and then see the non-standard D-BUS
which has as it's most obvious merits: not re-using
infrastructure code (glib), not re-using a standard
(CORBA), not developing the existing, working solution
(linc/ORBit2) - a triumph of a standardisation effort.
- Back to bed.
- Up late, it seems J. discovered the flowers
and card downstairs - good. My office seems to have
sprouted string with lots of cut out hearts on it
with some lovely SoS quotes - wonderful.
- Read the invitation to my MA congregation
again, amazed that Dr Ian Dupere is now Praelector, Fellow
and Director of Studies in Engineering - and proud of it.
I imagine it will instill patience into future Downing
engineers.
- Got a helpful Gentoo bug report, decided to
create a bugzilla account there, and file the optimisation
flags issue.
- Disabled the mozilla integration on the
OO.o tinderbox builds - it's not a portable solution.
Lots of fun doing various bits. Federico still not shown
up for work yet - hmm.
- Knocked off at 5pm for house preparation for
the returning lady. She arrived too early, before things
were ready, plan B.
- Started cleaning and cooking, lit a fire,
Sean and Abbie arrived, good to see them after too
long. A pleasant evening indeed. Dropped them back late
- the car making an odd noise. Bed.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my

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.
