Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up at 8.30, chewed mail, very positive about Gnome 2.0. Poked at some libbonoboui issues. Committed Sam Couter's first ORBit2 cleanup patch; good to have him on the team. Talked to Mark about the panel - seems to be coming along rather nicely.
Started binary chopping leaks out of the UI code. Discovered GConf leaks nastily, improved built in ref tracking inside libbonobo. Fixed a rat's nest of sillies in various places. Mark committed his unhandled mouse click forwarding code - nice.
Pulled GStreamer-0.3.0, and some of the prereq packages; particularly Hermes-1.3.3, SDL-1.2.3, mpeg2dec-0.2.0, mad, mad-libs, remember to install the -devel packages too. Failed to build it - it wants libxml1; can't ship that with Gnome 2.0; pulled the CVS sources to have a hack. Grabbed automake-1.5 apparently neccessary - has some whacked out perl dependencies; build it from source instead.
Configured at great length, whilst chopping more ref bugs out of libbonoboui. Finally got a gstreamer build, fixing several interesting issues along the way. Sent off a patch to Wim Taymans for merging action. Got pointed at a load of mug shots of the hackers.
Nana is in a bad way - sores all over her and getting worse, Doctor rang to say she needs to be in hospital in the next 24 hours.
Ported the media player to Gnome 2.0, still having serious issues with the debugger and the module registry; hmm. Managed to get several of these solved, pushed a code cleanup through part of the 'elements'. Wrote to J'.
