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, into Cambridge, parked
at J's work. Got to the Howard building, great to see so
many familiar, friendly faces.
- Got a talk from the Master; Dr Fleet, on how
the Government was trying to destroy the badge of status
that is a Cambridge 'MA', and how 6 years from matriculation
we were Masters of our Art. Mr Stibbs did a great piece on
the Latin, holding of the finger, etc. talked to Dr Dupere,
now Fellow.
- Rumour has it that Marijn, and Mark Miller are
to be fellows of Downing and Churchill. Talked to Chris Smith
and his put-upon lady, strange chap.
- Nice to be remembered by the catering staff; had
a pleasant chat to Ben Todd; Sarah Maughn & fiancee
Paul, (apparently Ruth Cox is already married). Met Anna Bose's
b/f Rupert - interesting lawyer at the Temple.
- Pulled into shape, and lined up by the porters.
Walked to the Senate House, talked to Damien a lot on the way,
stuck maintaining dead-end COBOL systems. Will Parry behind me,
working at the Bank of England, still un-crued of his G&S
problem.
- Managed not to wrench Mr Stibb's finger off;
nearly walked into Sarah, didn't fall over backwards standing
up; good news.
- Off for tea and cake with Sean & Abbie
afterwards, very pleasant. Walked into Downing to visit the
rose garden - looking very promising; drove to the Cricketers.
- Met S&A, but everyone else gone to the Mill,
had a nice time talking with them, then headed home feeling
very blessed.
- Lazed, played guitar, etc. bed early.

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