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.

Fine lie-in; entertained children, tried to attach 12V car-pump
tyre first to Molex connector for PC PSU, and second to paddling pool
in order to inflate it. Failed at the latter - pump apparently
inadequate; disassembled, lubricated etc. - some nice castings, while
J. manually einflated it.
-
Looked after the babes, occasionally spraying them with water,
bouncing on trampoline in the sun etc. while J. went shopping. Lunch.
Knocked up a 'cello
spike holder using openscad to print to stl (my first 'thing' on
thingiverse).
-
Out shopping for bread and mortar. Back, to print it out,
dinner, tested contraption on Miriam's 'cello - a perfect fit. Sometimes
I despair of the craziness of the US patents system as applied to software,
but ... while searching for the perfect angle for a 'cello (at a guess
~60degrees), by accident I discovered that the world of live music is utterly mad as
well. How can something this mind-blowingly trivial be filed in 2002 ?
the base claims seem banal to me, and prior art is (surely) rife.
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.
