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 earlyish; mail chew, poked at builds, and helped babes
with games; M. struggling with the concept of minesweeper. Breakfast,
out to Noughton Park for a wander around - various tree climbing feats,
and a fine wander. Back for a disgracefully late, large, fried
breakfast/lunch thing.
-
E. out to Sue's to play with Sophie; checked and re-started
a Windows build.

Pleased to read theregister's take on 3D printed
guns - only for the incredibly wealthy, deranged individual that likes to
kill at ultra-close range. Annoyed by self promotion and the stupid knee-jerk
responses it produces. There is a photo of a far more dangerous, and
often cheaper device here,
with which you can make a reasonably functional gun that 'actually works(TM)'.

One of the supreme amusements of life is that as soon as you do
anything you think is cool & new you find out it's already been done
before: see this neat new 3D printer thing ? turns out you didn't meet the
self-replicating "anyone who has a lathe can build a lathe" mob of
yesteryear (did you miss the industrial revolution perhaps ?). But wait !
surely these un-controllable, self-replicating 3D tools are a radical threat
to the civilised world ? - time to ban the lathe, milling machine,
drill-press ... toothbrush etc. ? Perhaps not.
-
Dinner. Argh - git submodules just beat me up again when I least
needed it -
translations module acting stupidly, and refusing
to update - combined with trying to remove that submodule (can you even
remove submodules? - and failing).
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.
