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 late; pleased to get some nice OO.o word-count
fixes from Martin K. along with a German translation; and
progress on the Zoom combo front. Talked over and did some
more hacking towards integrating Debian's OO.o build / patching
system with our own.
- Persuaded to turn my diary into an RSS feed for Jeff's
PlanetGnome
page - under some duress; no censorship apparently; though DV
begs to differ. Spent a while cleaning up my HTML to convert to
XML nicely - why people read this is rather beyond me; I'm
convinced it's the galloping folly of Modernism so prevalent
in 'technology'. Used
this perl script.
- Nice mail from Tor, who it seems is looking into an
ORBit2 port to win32 - which should have a nice effect on glib's
Windows mainloop hopefully.
- Finally - managed to hold my breath long enough to
fill out the W8-BEN, and Foo Release Form, and phone FedEx to get
them collected and taken away; phew. Now to some useful work.
- Mailed the OO.o graphics list, to try and get some
insight into how the VCL mainloop can be fixed; idly read the
OO.o bonobo integration whiteboard - there is some very deep
magic happening in there that I don't understand, and some
more comprehensible cleverness too; hmm. Added the Debian man
pages to the 'openoffice' package.
- The JWs turned up on the door, sadly they didn't
have enough time to stay; discussed the 'last days' which it
seems we both agree are now, but I think they've lasted ~1900
years longer than they. Turned to arithmetic, and
Daniel 4 - which does contain (vs. 16) the phrase:
till seven years pass by for him - however, only by
the most staggering disregard for the context; cf.
vs. 25,26,32,34 can one extract 7, multiply by '360' (days per
year), subtract one of the dates of exile, and arrive at 1914;
not impressed.
- Louise arrived as they went, had a nice dinner with
her, and played with H. together.

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.
