Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up early, saw Jules off to work. Got to the hacking action ... but first, sent a status report in to make people think I did something last week, and then an invoice to get paid for it. Lots of bug report reading, and misc. tedious admin things.
Mark is doing some really georgous work inside the ORB - looking extremely nice, shrinking memory usage, and accelerating the thing too.
The first in a series of three IBM developerworks articles on bonobo was pushed recently it seems.
It turns out Alex has already re-written the gtype code to use far less locking using a similar strategy, which is good, saves me having to finish it.
Started reading non-inbox stuff, and re-building my system from the ground upwards.
Made libgnomeprintui build again, people seem to love putting the headers in broken places. Of course the mantra is likely to be "do it the gtk way", but then gtk/gtk.h is only 9 chars, not libgnomecavas/libgnomecanvas.h at 29.
Met J at her office, and saw some of the things she's been working on which was nice.
Went out to downtown Sydney, saw the 'Opera House' which turns out to be actualy 3 buildings, each modeled after a slug / caterpiller, and significantly smaller than you might imagine - but still somewhat beautiful; picked up a programme. Gunniess on the waterfront, and a lovely dinner near the rocks.
Back home, BS & bed.
