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.

Wondered if the depth of cynicism in the modern world is not too bottomless to overcome with motivational videos.
More grist for the heuristic mill on app stores, thus far, the whole OO.o madness of: "don't integrate useful features into the device, push them to the app-store - to drive traffic there" seems not to have got into full swing. No doubt it will become more pernicious with time; ultimately, having lots of good, built-in software and a less capable app-stor-y seems a great direction for free-software.
Discovered that symlinking Gilouche to my Gnome 3.0 prefix was enough to fix the unfortunate default gtk+ theme. Lunch.
Prodded at this and that, a listless afternoon, topped off with a very long discussion and some bad news; sad.

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.
