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; laboured away at researching sermon on second part of
Daniel 3: the firey furnace.
-
Took a look at Father's birthday
present a book: A Treatise on the Integral Calculus (Volume 1);
With Applications, Examples and Problems - by Joseph Edwards.
Having foolishly bought it from "Paperbackship.co.uk" under
the impression it was a reproduction, and not some OCR monster.
Unfortunately it was an horribly mangled version of this fine book,
no doubt Edwards would turn in his grave. How bad can OCR of a
mathematical text be (I hear you wanting to ask). I hereby reproduce
one side-by-side comparison to assist the reader:
The discerning reader might just be able to make out the
difference, NB. these are the same page - though Ex. 1 is
missing a 16. Illustrative Examples.
Extraordinarily unimpressed.

Bruce & Anne dropped in, just as the TDF steering
committee call got going, drat.
-
Insured the house, apparently it hasn't been for rather
a while. The old quandry: is insurance betting in favour
of our own misfortune, or is not having insurance really the
gamble ? either way, it seems worth doing to me.
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.
