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 late - first day of holiday; decided to shut my (now
defunct), US based employee stock program E-trade account;
attempted to use the website, fell back on phoning. Apparently
it is necessary to send them a picture of my passport and a
letter to close the account: nothing like making it deliberately
difficult to shut an account. Interestingly, they didn't require
any form of Photo ID (or other) to open the account, only to
close it. Even more amazingly, the steam-powered E-bay appear not
to have an E-mail address for sending scanned copies, but demand
a fax: no doubt validating the ~one inch signature from my
photo-id against another signature in the same fax, both
presumably at 150 DPI, is ultra secure. Eventually discovered a
rather easier way of closing it to get a dollar cheque.

Out to the Brighty mulled wine & mince pie party in
the evening; nice to catch up with the family.

Back for dinner. put babes to bed; David over in the
evening for Bible study. Parents arrived too from Yorkshire; up
late with them.

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,

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.
