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, packed everything into the car, roof-box, etc.
Off to see Sandra's to swim in the pool again - M. finally shed her
fear of the water and started swimming lengths at crazy speed in
her swimming ring, good.
-
Picked some apples, had lunch, bid 'bye to the parents &
thanks for their help, and set off to drive home. Three and a bit
hours later (a very clear drive) arrived.
-
Unpacked variously, fed the babes, read them stories. Started
on the inbox, oh dear ... perhaps a mistake; but it's a bank holiday
on Monday too it seems.
-
Interested to read that Wheat
has been tentatively sequenced:
The wheat genome is the largest genome decoded to date.
It is five times larger than the human genome and is known to be a
very complex structure, comprised of three independent genomes.(BBC)
Interesting - if you were astounded by having an ~identical genome to
a chimpanzee, perhaps it is time to get a bigger-is-better inferiority
complex going with your breakfast cereal; alternatively - time to start
collecting base-pairs (or chromosomes ?).
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.
