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 early, taxi to the University, another
broadly pro-war, anti-Schroder driver. Got there, no
sign of Miguel who appears to have vanished unannounced.
- Mitch did a fairly good talk, with a minimalish
'Chandler' section, (cf. GLOW) - then onto the 'Community
Foundation' panel thing by Danise, got questioned off
guard about it.
- Talked to Daniese, met a Pat, and misc. people
afterwards, never got to talking to Stephan B. properly
about ucb. Got to my talk, and realized I'd foolishly
upgraded to PT 8.0, but not re-tested the X settings,
luckilly there was a nice wizard that made me an 800x600
weenie just as it was about to be fixed by an audience
member. A good talk, some excellent questions, people
standing in the aisles - rather a full, hot room.
- Met Joerg afterwards who told me that they
did the C UNO binding just for me; if only I'd known that
the shouting that put me off was from a clueless person,
we would have a Gnome based on UNO. Talked to Michael Hoennig
at some length, good to have someone else into component
systems that understands things.
- Snatched lunch somehow with Erwin, eat in
Dan Willimans' talk - interesting. I finally understand
the difference between Darwin, OS/X, 10.N etc.
- Met William Lachance, talked to Oliver
afterwards about the myriad accessibility problems,
discussing where exactly the performance issues lie
IMHO the at-spi IDL design.
- Off to the hackers room to flush mail, talked
to Will a lot more, doing fascinating polling in Canada,
the Wordperfect work is looking promising. Started reading
my mail in the 'Talking Shop' session at the end.
- Out for a group photo and off the hacking room,
showed Dan some of my talk, got ousted from the room,
de-camped outside. Bid 'bye to Danese et al. waited for a
taxi with Will / David etc. Taxi to the airport, chewed
more mail on the way - a really excellent conference from
my POV.
- Met David who knew me from a Bristol UKUUG
conference there - on business in Hamburg for Plasmon (
from Cambridge ), he works with my John from Church and
the famous Steve McIntyre. Plane, read the FT, bus to the
car, drove home.
- Lovely to see the small creature again, what
a happy thing to be back home. Bed late.

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