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; mail chew. Interested to read Lionel's
The cost of being
convinced. That significantly under-plays the cost of discipleship - of
meeting the total moral claims of Christ, and surrendering control of your
life to him (though if you're worried about that, do a search on the
number of Christian books about how to try to discern Gods guidance outside
of clear scriptural commands; we have minds for a reason). In my experience -
those moral claims and change of direction, purpose and boss are the primary
stumbling blocks. Your view of the sanity of that of choice ultimately hinges
on your view of the character of God - a loving, Father, companion, friend - or
a petulant, capricious tyrant. Clearly there is no attraction to trusting
the latter so I'm convinced of the profound goodness (or holiness) of
the God I follow, making anything else rather un-attractive.

More mail chew; pleased to see Caolan's update on the UI dialog
migration work here. Approaching 40% completion.

Call, lunch. Noticed while dunging out old mail, that the DrMemory
had fixed the 5 or so bugs I suffered on Windows last time I played with
it: nice. Discovered a load of interesting gmail mail that I'd completely
ignored in the past - annoying: seems I missed a load of meals with passing
friends at conferences etc. a wedding invite, and more. Will start reading it.
-
Poked at lots of hack-week projects, unwinding ones with unclear
status, trying to look for commits etc. Dinner. Back to the hackery in the
evening.
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.
