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 5.30am to set off for Germany and the OO.o
conference, leaving a lovely warm wife in bed. Left house at
5.45am, at the gate at 7pm - clearly room for optimisation.
- Practiced my German on a couple of kids and
taught them how to play same-gnome, need the dictionary
closer to hand. Updatedb drained away 60% of my battery
without me noticing - what incredible cunningness.
- Got to the HBH in the end, took the wrong exit,
and the wrong turning from it, if only the printer hadn't
cropped the directions so acutely. Found a most friendly
restaurant, which turns out to be just around the corner,
re-orientated by the English server. Hacked, charged the
laptop, and polished the slides.
- Got to the place half an hour early; Christophe
met me, and showed me to a meeting room. Met Stefan Taxhet
on the way a lot of sal hackers: Stefan Bergman, Oliver Braun,
Tino, Hennes Rowling, Frank Schoenheit, Matthias, Colm Smyth,
and Christophe. Kay Ramme dropped in after a while. Very
pleased to discover that managers and developers alike are all
hackers. Then the VCL people: Philip Lomann and Stefan Schaffer.
- Wandered to Matthias' office, to see Martin
Hollmichel, lots of interesting, in depth discussion, it's nice
to have clueful people to talk things over with. Talked to
Matthias, Philip, Martin and Christophe for a long time.
- Got a Taxi who eventually managed to locate the
street my hotel is in on the map, nice chap - I helped him
with his English, and me with my German, he's pro war in
Iraq it seems. Checked in, a tiny bunked room, very unusual,
off locate fast food, then phoned J, back - hacked a little,
bed exhausted.

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.
