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 at 3am, had to wake the baby since it's too long since the last feed; J. fed it and changed it; she went back to bed, washed, dressed, breakfasted. Mother helped wind, and settle it.
- Drove to Cambridge to pick up Sean & Abbie, took them and luggage to Stanstead for their emmigration to Stockholm - very sad to see them go; God willing things will go well for them there.
- Home at 6ish, bed. Up at 10:30am, Anne had come and gone; some breakfast, baby washing, changing, feeding action; took some photographs eg. Hannah and beautiful wife.
- Mum and Dad went out shopping for us, J. bathed, had a lovely lunch made by Mum. Spent a while hammer drilling various walls to erect ladder holders, and shelves for the baby - the soothing sound of drill on masonry.
- J. slept while Mum and I tried to stop Hannah crying, it appears she can be distracted from issues such as hunger and internal plumbing by sufficient gentle rocking, jiggling, prayer and a following wind. Mum & Dad left to drive home.
- Got flowers from NetProject - very kind of them; Sue Hummersone came to visit the baby, while I painted the cot base again.
- Had a relaxing poke at my filed OO.o patches / issues - Frank cheered my up by reviewing the system-mozilla patch nicely anyway. Avoided the deluge of stress that reading E-mail is.
- Started idly poking at OO.o for a right click -> save image feature, and found the select image -> right click -> convert -> To Polygon in OO.o 1.1 (cf. red-carpet snapshots) - does a pretty good job, and lets you edit the vectorized result;
- Mel (from Church) popped round with dinner for us, Shephard pie (eatable with 1 hand) and fruit pie & cream pudding, yum. Very good to see her, a kind soul.
- Dinner, fed H. bed early 10:30pm.

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.
