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.

Prodded mail, sync call with Kendy, hacked at some verbiage. Tried to use skype; it really replicates the mobile telephony experience faithfully: "sorry, can you speak up ?", "You're breaking up", "Lets try using a land-line"; sigh.
Wondered what all the fuss is about Google recording tiny snippets of information that other people are broadcasting un-encrypted to everyone. If you shout something private in a crowded room, can you really expect to erase that from each listener's memory ?
Parents arrived, pottered around with them in the evening, played with prototype reprap - while doing so the TechZone extruder board lots it's smoke [ correctly wired etc. not being stepped either ] - bother. Luckily the MakerBot version should arrive tomorrow.

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.
