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.

- Phoned at 3am by an overenthusiastic Novell bod; woken
at 6am (and subsequently) by a screaming H. who - not content with
twisting around and jamming her head against the bars, then struggles
to free herself making the situation more painful & noisy.
- Amazing that whenever someone can't login the cause is
automatically Bonobo (or whatever else) crashing; quality.
- Spent a while chopping more stuff out of the 'dir'
stream, before discovering much of the data is duplicated in the
'PROJECT' and 'PROJECTwm' streams; try writing some of that goodness
out I guess.
- Out to Bendall & Sons - our Solicitors; removed
hard disks from computers to be thin-clients; and shipped their
kindly donated machines off to NCC; Pentium class: nice, LTSP should rock on them.
- Back to discover J. & H. outside in the rain,
forgot their keys. Lunch, back to shrinking the diff between my
hacked-down, but working .xls and that exported by my hacked up
OO.o - getting there.
- Downloaded an Office97 ISO, discovered a number of
small / silly bugs, and that the quirky 'dir' record is some
paper size; hmm. Finally got the import and re-export to work.
- Hail and sunshine interspersed outside, had a hack
at the Gtk+ file-selector integration work of Anil's. Uploaded
my initial hacked up OO.o code here,
installed Office 97 and hunted for similarly exploitable
quirks.
- Spammed all the GUADEC proto-speakers with requests
for more information, hopefully we'll get that soon and get the
programme firmed up fast.
- Watched Captain Corelli's Mandolin - rather a
good film it seems.

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),

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.
