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 at 4am for a two hour conf-call / Evo PRD review. Decided now
is the best time to switch to the new 200Gb disk Calvin sent me: got the
USB / SATA thing setup, transfered most of the data; then foolishly switched
disks without getting grub as happy as it could be. Protracted hours of
re-booting, re-configuring grub, trying to work around the cunning
chatty (device-specific) device names
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA<essay here>-part1
etc.
Eventually installed 11.0 Alpha2 and set off an update to factory.
- Knocked up a response to Charles & Cor's concerns during the
update while suffering some very curious X server bugs. Pleased and encouraged
by Eike's
interpretation of the (still un-announced) SCA exemption rubric. Still
puzzled as to how this agreement can be effective yesterday when the most
important piece of it (to OO.o) is missing, but perhaps I'm just too eager
to see the detail.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/
and data/
directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0
license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for
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.
