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.

Boiled eggs and soldiers for breakfast with the babes. To
work, plugged away at the E-mail and patches much of the morning.
Avoiding expense reports. Lunch.
-
Got 'experimental' option patch done, and set-off a new
compile to test it; several hours even with the cluster. One of the
most curious things about Novell is that they pay their most junior
clerical administrators a programmer's salary; or - put another way,
they encourage us to spend a solid three hour block of time every
now a few times per year simply sorting, collating, and entering
expenses into a lameish web tool. Of course, the ideal is to
dis-aggregate that so it is not noticed, but somehow - on arriving
back from travel, the pressure to work through not only the mail
backlog from the journey, but also the exciting / new tasks from
the trip is too intense, and the tiresome admin inevitably gets
dropped.
-
Build finally completed, pushed the new option, more mail,
knocked off for dinner. Prodded at UK law in the evening a little,
whole schedule knocked off track by administration.
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.
