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.

- Helped someone with an installer problem; it
seems the go-gnome XD2 installer is really old. Got post
from NatWest - so uneager are the local branch to have the
account shut, they failed to stamp my ID so the dormant
account people could actually send me my money, so I got
my form back again. If they hadn't screwed this up twice
already, I could cope better.
- Finally built / installed the OO.o gtk+
integration CWS - bad main-loop integration caused the
installer to lock-up; should use my scheme instead. Fixed
another ORBit2 thread silly for Justin - it's great to have
him hammering on it.
- Got chewed for lunch; pushed new ooo fonts
packages for SuSE to QA - installing into a prefix people
actually use. Poked Federico about improving the look of
the gtk file-selector instead of raw API beautification.
- Jody pointed out this amusing
report on Excel 2003's RAND function: truly random.
Updated the Gnome Basic web-site to point to Mono, since
people keep stumbling over it of late.
- H. producing compacted replicas of her solid
food (apparently). Considered changing my sir-name to
Ibid before entering a publishing career to boost my
citation count.
- Dinner, joined the FSG a11y conference call;
seems we spent some hours chewing over a funding proposal,
after introductions.
- Off to Alpha at NCC, a different round of more
varied introductions; watched Nickie Gumbell - rather a
grating accent to start with, but great stuff. A detailed
and interesting discussion. Home to bed.

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.
