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 before six, urgh - taxi to breakfast meeting with Rob
Sinclair, good to meet him in the flesh at last.
-
Met Claudio & James, off to the briefing centre for
much of a day of talking about accessibility of all sorts.
Amused at the vituperative reserved for Google's 100% inaccessible
Chrome browser - go WebKit !

I'm increasingly convinced that the world writes, (or
worse - pointlessly re-writes) things frequently enough that
keeping a11y up to date is a vast task. Of course, as we all
know - all applications now have to move to the web (2.0)
with yet another rats nest of a11y problems, developer
training etc. nevermind the frequent cool-toolkit-of-the-year
lurches. By the time a11y has
caught up, the relentless urge to re-write - usually for 'bloat'
reasons (ie. we finally got a mature product that ticks the
required boxes) - kicks in, and we end up with a 31337 ultra-lean
non-functional replacement (apparently).

Arrived at the Eurostar four hours early; thankfully the
management genius' that run this company provide no way to pay a
fee to change the time of, or upgrade to a flexible ticket. It
seems they prefer to leave money sitting in their hall for hours
on end. Buying a new ticket for Eur 100+ is ridiculous, but I'd
happily pay the difference to a flexible ticket now. Sat around
feeling horribly ill, and wishing I was at home with the wife.
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.
