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; quick breakfast; prayed with the girls; set off for Newbury/Bath. A typical long, tedious motorway drive; Listened to Radio 4. Apparently one of the inadvertant jokes in the OED is that 'abbreviate' is not only a verb, but also an official in the Vatican that draws up the Pope's briefs.
- Got to David's, and had a lovely lunch, and caught up with what's happening in the Mansergh world - good stuff.
- Drove on to Bath; loads of queuing traffic on the A4/A36, missed Kate & James' vows, but caught the end of the sermon.
- A great reception afterwards, good to catch up with all the Downing folk both new and honoury. Talked water treatment with Tim, Japanese politics with Richard & Yuko, Mission to the Islamic world with Andrew, VBA with Luke, interesting chaps.
- Met Adrian and Carren who live near us, got Adrian's testimony - interesting stuff; good fellow. Encouraging but extremely brief speeches.
- Set off home somewhat late; pouring with rain, M4, M25 & M11 all very dangerously saturated. Finally got there to see the wife and daughter; sleep.

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.
