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 - groan - need more sleep.
- Got to show, patient mail from J, she is coming - horay.
- Bedlam started, concentrated on media people today, gave out press kits, got cards, shoved CDs into peoples hands. Did some beautiful demos of Evolution - it's just so slick, so many nice little features, E-table etc. etc.
- Pizza for lunch on the fly, important Demos with the Lady from Sun, and her sidekick - totaly blown away by Evolution, amazed.
- Knocked off to find a peaceful place to write my talk for tommorow in and harden the demos if possible. Discovered that in order to win a 'Best of Show' award you have to register your product ! - whacked out [ talked to the Judges deliberating in the speakers room ]. Caught Linus exchanging baby photos with some other guy there - the "My Baby" backdrop effect.
- Spewed some mail.
- Sat in the corner trying to avoid stuff and work on my talk - Ashley ( not her name ) [ Mi Yong ] Kim turned up all the way from Korea just to see me ( or perhaps the show ) which was lovely to catch up. She's very sweet.
- Show finished, limo to hotel [ ripped off again ], and then, attempting to follow a conflation of misleading directions to 'the best pizza place in Manhatten' discovered some place - upon asking it transpired it wasn't the best pizza place in manhatten, however the guy at the stove was happy to confess this so I was sold.
- Back to the hotel to hack on a talk, spent a long time writing a nice long mail to J whom I have been tragicaly neglecting during the show.
- Hacked on my presentation, off to Kinko's to print and photocopy stuff, bed 1.30am.

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.
