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 early, dealt with babes, helped E. and N. to climb
up and down a ladder in the workshop (hours of fun), while
trying to perforate some alumininum plate suitably for a gear.
-
To Church, tried to reconcile E. to the fact that it
was not completely necessary to have a Father to cling to at
all times while in the creche - somewhat un-successfully. Hey ho.
-
Back for a soupy lunch; and off to Dee's baptism,
lovely to have another lovely elderly lady baptised into the
fellowship. Fed everyone lemon-cake, and set off back home.
-
Played in the garden, with Mary Rogers and the babes;
Tea, put the babes to bed.
-
Watched Avatar (2D) "Out-of-focus film of the
year!" with a fair host of the church crew; sadly
disappointed in my desire to actually see much of the scenery
/ vistas. It's horrible to imagine all the CPU rendering that
is then just thrown away with some ridiculous blur effect.
Further amused by the tree-hugging pantheist / animist theology.
Perhaps one of the supreme ironies of the ending of this persuit
of authenticity or 'living in tune with nature' - is the
the real world reality of the final scene. Here actor Sam
Worthington gets strongly deprecated by the digital machine:
there is no real need to have a specific human actor for the
hero anymore.
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.
