This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
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.
Failing that, you might like to read the Collabora Office developer blog or
corp. blog.

-
Deeply irritated to miss another appointment
due to there being no possible way to get Thunderbird
to actually remind you that an appointment starts ~now.
Not helped (somehow) by GNOME notifications also turning

Spent some time writing the world's worst Thunderbird
extension actually notify you of meetings.

Sealed an area of garage floor in the evening
with Julia, the concrete absorbs rather a surprising
amount of sealer in places.

for a walk with J. in the sun - lovely.
-
Up late, hacked at various topical problems
through the morning. Out into Cambridge to navigate the
multiple layers of security to get into our co-location
