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, pulled mail. Dad phoned for Outlook
technical support. Papers for GUADEC still flooding in.
Discovered that an op had pulled the plug on my tinderbox
slave; bother. It seems Julian has found far fewer Valgrindy
type bugs in OO.o 1.1 beta, which is a nice suprise -
the stability work is paying off, or something odd happened.
- Started writing thank-you's etc. to the various
people that put up with my rambling for several days.
Incensed to read the new unhelpful new contract someone is
trying to get Ximian contractors to sign. Perhaps from the
same man that brought us the (finally recinded) demand to
provide %age breakdowns of project work per day - comes a
scheme to demand the unacceptable from non-US employees.
- Martin Sevior seems to have turned Abiword into
a nice Gnome 2.0 Bonobo Control; good chap. Continued to read
mail slowly. Booked my LWE Dublin flight, booking flights in
the US seems problematic for reasons I don't understand.
Downloaded a new
Dasher - to poke again at the gtk2 bits (Src/Gtk2),
runs, does some scrolling action - nice.
- Talked to Nat on the phone, supportive and
encouraging, good stuff. Talked to Federico on the phone
too and plotted other things. J. arrived home, wrote up
the status report, and quit, had a quick dinner.
- Did some leafletting on Studlands Park estate for
the Church opening next week; somewhat confused by the odd
layout of the area. Shopping at Tescos, home clapped out,
bed.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE,

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.
