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.

Interesting talks much of the day - lovely to interact with all the great developers, partners and users around LibreOffice.
Off with Kendy to get a replacement laptop, a Sata to USB thingit, and some screwdrivers. Back to play with Windows 10. Installed T-bird to have a go with it - learning a lot. Excited that powershell can tab expand paths, cope with forward-slashes and tilde: and even Free Software now; nice. Joy somewhat terminated by the lack of a pre-installed vi, and the notepad.exe file-selector hating ~ and forward slashes. Tried to swap caps-lock and control - requiring a re-log-in; hmm. Got openSUSE installed in a VM. Poked at customer issue on Windows.
Late to the lovely beer & food event at Charlie's Square in the evening.

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.
