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.

Helped to pack babes off to the Insane Terrain fund-raising
run for Youth for Christ, packed for Mexico City - long series of
trains, a very long plane ride.
-
Listened to a sermon from All Souls by Ross Hendry
on Equal Pay;
lots of interest but:
- Obligatory John Stott quote:
"Total egalitarianism is not the Christian goal for
God himself has not mandated us to be identical either
in our nature or spiritual endowments. What Christians
should seek to ensure is that all differentials are
due to merit not privilege."
-
A godly worker opposes discrimination; recognizing
the equal worth of all should yield equal pay (for equal
work).
-
We should also oppose pay that causes enmnity &
envy. since large pay disparities can quickly make us become
dissatisfied. We should oppose the love of money generally;
and more.
Interesting, of course, internationally PPP considerations can blur
the picture - but the scandal of unequal pay is clearly a worthy
thing to fight. On the politics of envy and suspicion around pay,
a Christian involved in a Union presumably also has a tough task
to avoid stirring up envy.

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
