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.

-
To work, carpenters arrived somewhat under the weather;
and fitted skirting boards around the place variously - as they
do.
-
Prodded mail & news. Somewhat terrified to find another
blast.
It makes one introspect - do I use the word 'sexy' when I speak publicly ?
As a matter of fact, I almost certainly do, as part of an effusive flood
of positive adjectives; but never talking about women - mostly about
widget rendering, toolkit layout, beautiful icons - that sort of
thing; is that a fundamentally wrong word to use to describe something
aesthetically pleasing ? Being offensively crude in one's description
of a lady seems hard to forgive, but is expressing a mild opinion in
the hearing of another that a friend is attractive really that wrong ?
Should we all become completely asexual creatures in some way ? at
least, I hope I'm still allowed to find my wife fantastically
attractive. Consulted her briefly - her sage advice was "she
seems to be a bit over the top doesn't she", but of course J.
speaks from a position of strength five girls to one hairy hacker
in my household. The cowed male bristling at the keyboard (or
something).
-
A chunk of meetings, and more banshee prodding until late.
Helped J. with her tax late.
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.
