      As Sound Juicer will be <a
      href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-February/msg00027.html">part
      of the Desktop release</a> in GNOME 2.10, I quickly knocked up a page on
      the <a href="http://live.gnome.org/SoundJuicer">GNOME Wiki</a> listing my
      priorities for the next stage of development.  Simultaneously I hit
      Bugzilla, closing about 15 bugs.  Finally back down to under 50 bugs!

      Now that I'm working for <a href="http://www.openedhand.com">Opened
      Hand</a> from home I mostly work with my laptop sitting on the sofa, with
      a few cushions to support my back.  This isn't a bad working position as
      I'm comfortable and it means I'm in the right place for my speakers, so
      get to listen to loud music.  Fast-forward a month or so: Vicky left
      Peason and is looking for another job, whicih involves lots of time on the
      other computer searching for jobs, writing letters, filling in forms, etc.
      This is a good thing as it justifies Eddie's existance: previously his
      entire reason to exist was as a backup for my data and to play Half-Life 2
      on.  This is also a bad thing: Vicky is <emph>tidying</emph> my desk.

    <p>
      This is some strange use of the word "tidy" I'd never heard before, it
      started with a <a
      href="http://www.burtonini.com/photos/Random/thumb-img_0181.jpg">fluffy pen
      monster thing</a> appearing, followed by voiles (thin curtains apparently)
      on the window, and finally <strong>flowers</strong> by the monitor.  She
      appeared to notice my expression of shock and horror at this point and
      finished it off my putting a pink, furry, cushion on the chair, which was
      hastily removed.  I note that the rest is still there, and doesn't show
      any sign of moving.
    </p>
    <p>
      Maybe it's time I "tidy" the front room with chunkier speaker wire, a new
      subwoofer, and a pile of trashy men magazines?
