Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up early, too light and noisy. Discovered that by closing the windows more sleep could be obtained at the cost of par boiling oneself.
Back to the action; the same Control bug, grief; getting places with it though.
Lunch with Ian, Peter, Bradford & co.
Fiddled with the whiteboard trying to get Monikers conceptualy sorted in my mind. Ettore corrected a couple of heresies I had fallen into which was excellent. Big argument about how to hold references in Monikers.
Started hacking Monikers, got the skeleton in place, implemented a 'file:' moniker. Dudes, this is so cool. I can do something ( concatenating the build / resolve process for clarity ):
```
	Bonobo_PersistStream stream = some_moniker_fn ("file:/demo/a.jpeg", "IDL:Bonobo/PersistStream:1.0");
```
But this is the trivial part of the file moniker; better still you can do:
```
	Bonobo_Embeddable stream = some_moniker_fn ("file:/demo/a.jpeg", "IDL:Bonobo/Embeddable:1.0");
```
And it will automagicaly find an embeddable to deal with the mime type of a.jpeg, activate it, get its PersistFile / PersistStream interface, create a stream and feed bits into it for you, before doing a QI on the object and returning a cute embeddable interface for you to embed easily.
Rested on laurels a little. Still no luggage for Ettore who is going progressively more bananas about it.

I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes / improvements / corrections by private mail.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
