Yesterday I totally rewrote sj-extracting., the cause of many bugs in Sound Juicer. I'll test and commit it today (after resisting the urge to commit without testing last night), and will then do a new release, which will truly rule, of course.

A few days ago Helix released the first beta of their media player. I have fond memories of Bastien building their SDK on this iBook, muttering away, before cursing and taking his iBook to the Helix stand to poke them about the latest stupidity he found. There were plans to try and get Helix to use Totem as a front end for their player, as it has a pluggable backend (currently it can use Xine or GStreamer) and a totally sweet interface, but they didn't in the end. Turns out they've written a poor Totem clone, really. Totem doesn't have to start [image] worrying [image] yet [image].

In Debian news, we've managed to get GNOME 2.2 into testing and GNOME 2.4 into unstable, a feat which only took a week. Many thanks to Sebastien Bacher who did most of the initial work!
