Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up early, chewed mail, updated the system, more packing - if you're not going to FOSDEM, it's not to late to book now; do something last minute :-)
Got some chunks of my system into a workable state; chewed away at the panel - not shutting down applets properly. Fixed some bugs in test-moniker, isolated the panel ref leak to the panel / item container side. Finaly located it, just as we got to Kings X.
London is rather different to Newmarket, no lovely flint cottages, beautiful horses on green grass, shame. Got to Waterloo eventually after navigating the less than clear Northen line middle bit.
Fixed the panel, beautiful cleanup on crash, now to get metacity to play ball. Color management in gtk+ 2.0, without gdk_rgb looks like a total pain in the backside.
Set out from Waterloo with the sun going down over London, the houses of parliament & Westminster Abbey looking very fine. The carriage suspension is extremely under-damped, hmm.
Made the battery applet render properly. Spent a while polishing up my eel hackery for Darin. Had another run at the Nautilus color management issues.
Got to the hotel, checked in, off for a beer with Richard - the KDE bindings guy, and some lady from O'Reilly.
Back - chatted with Miguel for a while, lots of exciting, and some sad things happening at Ximian. Played with my talk, bed very late, realized I should have phoned J'.
