Gnash and VLC in Copland

During my testing last night, Quod Libet wouldn't play anything and GXine only played Oggs.

So I went back into the Chroot environment and replaced GXine with VLC, and I added the useful Gstreamer0.10 plugins (how did I forget to include them in the first place?).

And I also worked out how to add the Backports repository to the sources.list - I've done it on my main box, but I had forgotten how to do it. So now Copland has Gnash. Excellent.

I also was going to install the Quod Libet extensions, but I completely forgot to. I'll get back into the chroot, probably tomorrow, add them, recreate the package manifest and build another development CD. Along with as many bugfixes as possible.

There's only, like, 3 days left in February - looks like Copland will miss its initial release date. It doesn't really matter - I'd rather release a little later and have the thing work, than release it too soon and have it get a reputation for being overly buggy.

The audio and video support is definately something I needed to get right.

Also, note that the official Copland website on Google Code is getting outdated.

Today, my parents held a barbeque-thingy for all their friends. They asked me beforehand if I wanted to invite anyone as well, but really there's very few people in Perth who I have contact with. There's my friend Joe, and the people I work with (who I don't really want to see outside my working life)... there's one girl who I have some Internet-contact with but she has a chronic aversion to meeting me :-(

It did make me realise that I'm a bit lonely. I don't always feel it; in fact, I don't often feel it. I do wish I had a girlfriend, but I'm really the sort of guy who most girls don't find interesting. It's a fact that I've accepted, but it doesn't stop it from (occasionally) hurting.

Getting too depressed. I'll stop this post now, and hopefully edit the podcast some time before it gets stale.
