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.

Lots of snow in the morning, packed three girls off to school,
and played with the fourth in the garden for a while; sadly the snow
is extremely powdery, and hard to get stuck together.
-
Interested by the Javascript
is the new CPU article - though, thankfully it seems unlikely that
anyone is going to waste millions making a pure silicon version. If only
whomever had chosen a better language to be the CPU.
-
Nick, Hannah & Joni arrived with a lift to Hertford, for
their evangelistic hog-roast, in an huge tent outside; arrived very
early - thankfully, giving lots of time to put out night-lights, admire
the tent decorations: pretty lights everywhere, and hog roast cooking.
Second space heater unfortunately not arrived yet (the first
malfunctioned), eventually it arrived and, after a bit - also
failed; spent lots of time to'ing and fro'ing; it seems it needs
rather a lot of current just for it's fan diesel spark-plugs. Onto
the next problem - hog out of gas; dug more out of the loft with
Charlie, and spent some time trying to extract a replacement
battery from Penny's sacrifically lent car to encourage rotation.
By that time, washing & un-winding the outer pieces of hog
that fell off into the sand underneath was just natural.
-
Fine set of carols and readings; excellent talk from
Charlie with several rather helpful illustrations, prayed to
finish; and helped serve the (tons) of people with food.
Interesting - got into a conversation with some chappie back
from China, that appeared to have swallowed everything his
tour-guide said - without realising that they are all
pre-vetted party members.
-
Driven back, in fine company with Hannah, Nick
& a sleeping Joni - a lovely evening, bed rather late.
