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, dealt with babes, helped E. and N. to climb
up and down a ladder in the workshop (hours of fun), while
trying to perforate some alumininum plate suitably for a gear.
-
To Church, tried to reconcile E. to the fact that it
was not completely necessary to have a Father to cling to at
all times while in the creche - somewhat un-successfully. Hey ho.
-
Back for a soupy lunch; and off to Dee's baptism,
lovely to have another lovely elderly lady baptised into the
fellowship. Fed everyone lemon-cake, and set off back home.
-
Played in the garden, with Mary Rogers and the babes;
Tea, put the babes to bed.
-
Watched Avatar (2D) "Out-of-focus film of the
year!" with a fair host of the church crew; sadly
disappointed in my desire to actually see much of the scenery
/ vistas. It's horrible to imagine all the CPU rendering that
is then just thrown away with some ridiculous blur effect.
Further amused by the tree-hugging pantheist / animist theology.
Perhaps one of the supreme ironies of the ending of this persuit
of authenticity or 'living in tune with nature' - is the
the real world reality of the final scene. Here actor Sam
Worthington gets strongly deprecated by the digital machine:
there is no real need to have a specific human actor for the
hero anymore.
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.
