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; did some maths with H, N. and E. variously. More work - attacked various problems with long re-build times.
Finally, after some weeks, got space to get around to repairing the toilet flush in the upstairs toilet. One good opportunity for Goverments would be to ban pointless, self- defeating and environmentally damaging cost-engineering. A non-servicable, polythene flush membranes is an abomination. Hours of work, waste and expense to replace a sub-penny worth of plastic. Siliconed everything in sight to get it watertight.
Why is it that when my daughters invite their friends over, one of them inevitably appears used to turning the bathroom tap off with the moral equivalent of a spanner - making it come loose & rotate. Mended that too.

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.
