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; H. still doing a good job of increased screaming.
Today off, checked mail for flights. Went shopping for new computer bits
for the Church's new drop-in-center; 1Gb RAM, 2x80G IDE RAID ( nice setup
tool with the RH9 install ), uninteresting otherwise.
- Jim B. came around to help assemble, got RH9 installed;
RPM locked up during the XD2 install; the wonderful joys of fixing
a broken RPM database to remove duplicate / non-existant packages.
- Tried to compile a kernel to fit on a floppy for remote
boot, with fairly little success - it seems getting a small enough
bzImage is quite a task.
- Went to battle with the Bank, the 3rd attempt at convering
my NatWest account to a joint account, having a wife, with passport etc.
is not sufficient - you need a trivially forgeable utility bill [wow].
Shut 1 account, transfered most of the rest to the Co-Op, must move
direct debits.
- Tried to open a Nationwide account for Hannah, appallingly
slow and feeble service there; abandoned hope, home.

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
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,
Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International),
or anyone else.
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.
