Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
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.

-
Up early, intense car packing, and house emptying - managed to get it
all in eventually; and H. to overcome her distress at having some sand on her
seat (still).
-
Set off to meet Jean & Peter - interesting couple from church who
invited us over. Their house is at the end of a 1/4 mile+ drive (between fields).
Admired their interesting family, got chatting with their Son, a trainee doctor,
Ruth - the girlfriend interested in Eastern Europe and human rights law; and
briefly Peter - designing wood chip boilers for people; a happy morning.
-
Drove, and drove some more - finally got to Brimham Rocks - just as
the parents arrived too. Much nostalgic playing amid the wonderfully shaped
rocks. Managed to get N. and H. to the top of one of the largest rock outcrops
by means of brief chimneying, ledge traversal, scrambling, crawling through
openings in the rock, and other fun - life is easier when you have a Dad to
help you with the difficult bits it seems.
-
Eventually left, bid 'bye to the parents; and returned to the car -
drove to the ultra-cheap rooms in the as-yet-not-built motel we had booked;
thankfully it it been built by the time we arrived - neat. Very nice, pristine
rooms; disgraceful Burger King dinner - exhausted children at the end of their
tether. Got everyone to bed.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
