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.

Reviewed and tested patches in the mail for 3.4.0, lots of
nice fixes flowing in, and useful reviews too.

Boggled at the sheer
rigour of the FMR imaging science that, having carefully identified
"the brain areas that have evolved to process religion" they
amazingly discover that it is active when Apple fan-boys see
Apple kit. I wonder does it also light up when communists
see Marx / Engels or even Marx & Spencer - how about coffee
lovers' reaction to beans ? No chance of course that the basic
assumptions that brains have a special religious bit, that it is
in a well defined place, and that activity there implies worship
might be a tad suspect. Then again - anyone passionate about
anything, their wife, family, God, job - must be deeply
suspect in the first instance particularly if they have a brain.
Amusing BBC3 program on brands though.

Lunch; chat with Caolan. Finally started to get to near
the bottom of my mailbox.
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.
