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 earlyish - awoken by sounds of much screaching, and
jumping, it seems the trampoline had the desired effect. Read
the instructions carefully. When, oh when, will our Asian
manufacturing friends decided to use a translator, native in
the target language ? Amused by the "Always consult your
physician before attemping physical exercise" - surely
that would place rather a strain on the National Health
Service ? did someone really litigate on the basis that they
had no idea that exercise might injure you ?

Off to NCC, ran creche. Back via Argos (to purchase a
new router - sadly on a Sunday). The previous Belkin effort at
least lasted for sixteen
months which is somewhat less long than the three years
I thought was bad for the last one. Are we all doomed to ever
more flaky hardware ? Roll on the days of open-hardware, with
(of course) home-made logic analysers to debug it with. I'm
nearly certain that someone needs me to have a deep memory
logic analyser.

Lunch, relaxed a little in the garden, and out to an Art
exhibition in a chapel nearby, Hannah Webb exhibiting some fine
pieces. Popped onto the Webbs, to catch up with Nick, Hannah and
Joni. Sat in the playground in the sun for a while, and visited an
ancient cluntch quarry now filled with trees.

Back, bathed babes, put them to bed, packed, and packed
for OSCON / GUADEC.
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.
