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 - to work; read mail, commented on an interesting
PackageKit / zypp issue in some considerable detail. Rejoiced as my
browser (firefox) threw away all my work: moral of the story -
placing a magic "throw away your work" button (window left?) right
above the left arrow on the Thinkpad keyboard, is perhaps not an
inspired idea for those that like to keyboard navigate and edit their
comments: rock on the web world. NB. I believe this button goes 'back'
ie. it will also auto-log-you-out of most banking websites mid-flow,
oh, and Alt-Left-Arrow is also impossibly easy to press. Bus-sized
usability problems of this kind are all too common on the web sadly.

More mail creation and churn, some patch review, merging.
Amused to get a mail saying effectively: "We have accepted you
for a talk at our conference - can you us what it is about ?".
-
Booked FOSDEM travel, we
should have a great LibreOffice track, and showing there this year
and this is (in my view) the top European Free Software conference,
if you can pick just one, go to Brussels early next month.
-
Internal LibreOffice team call. Tested some patches for the
stable branch, and pushed them. Dinner. Back to work to try to catch
up, and catch the GUADEC/Akadamy CfP meeting.
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.
