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.

To work; dug through the mail, wrote up an interview,
prodded at patches we had overlooked here & there. Dug at
UK charity law issues a little. Reviewed and merged a few more
patches, dug at some icon work.
-
Poked at auto-migration from older versions, to disable
it happening multiple times; if migration fails it leaves a
'MIGRATED' stamp file around to stop it happening again. Ever
wondered why OO.o doesn't launch when you start it - that would
be the migration, then silent exit: you get to re-start it
manually; shame.
-
Nice interview with new LibreOffice hacker Norbert (shm_get)
got published; Cor Nouws is working hard at the next ones
already. Hopefully getting to know people helps to build
those invaluable human linkages of which a community is
composed.
-
Reviewed the financial situation in the evening, and
closed out Towry Law investments, since they are impossibly
lamer than Edward Jones. Now need some good, cheap way of
buying exchange traded funds to avoid paying 3% on purchase,
to those clowns, and a %age per year - rather a large chunk
of the return.
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.
