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, tended babes while J. slept. Off to NCC,
J. waylaid for the service; John H. preached on John 14. E.
managed to cope in creche without excessive separation anxiety
which was encouraging.
-
Back for a light ('Special Sunday' - ie. with crisps
& juice) lunch while J. took N. to a party. Put E. to bed,
and played in the garden with them.
-
J. back; cut angle-iron to length for a shelving
bracket for the larder, and had an initially frustrating time
with the MIG welder from Bruce. Eventually discovered the
groove in the wire
feed roller was offset from the wire liner causing kinks
and jamming inside the feed, and that the roll was selectively
rusty at the top (lubricating?) the rollers. New wire, and
adjusted roller, and the arc-eye potential was all go.
Eventually managed to get it calibrated reasonably enough
to produce a good weld: at the cost of lots of angle-grinding.
Which makes me wonder - could Extreme Angle-Ironing be
the next big thing ? welding during free-fall or somesuch.
-
John, Martin, Zoe & Patrick over in the evening
for a movie: watched the Spiderwick Chronicles, and
discussed marriage; bed late.
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.
