+<a href="/projects/">EWL</a> is coming along nicely. I finished porting
+the Imlib2 wrapper from
+<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh.html">feh</a>, and I cleaned it
+up and added a few new calls along the way. Basically, it eliminates
+the silly context-based API and converts Imlib2 loading errors to
+strings. :) Oh yeah, the EwlImage and EwlImLayer rendering and layout
+APIs are complete, along with ewl_widget_render_*(), which means that I
+just need to port EwlWindow to the new EwlContainer setup, and things
+will start to fall into place. Now would be a good time to check out
+the <a href="/projects/ewl/ewl-latest.tar.gz">latest tarball</a> and
+give me API suggestions before it's set in 1.0 stone.
+<br /><br />
+
+I have a new layout for the page functioning -- a lot of you have
+already seen it, thanks to the post by
+<a href="http://www.darkrock.co.uk/">Boris'</a> to the e-develop
+mailing list. A convenient 600% increase in my web traffic for 48
+hours (wow, I didn't know I was so popular :P). It will be up
+soon enough -- I just have to find a little bit of free time to finish
+the graphics.
+<br /><br />
+
+Work has been crazy. We're losing our admins (Netware and UNIX), and
+management isn't moving particularly fast to replace them. This
+means my work load is going to increase dramatically, since Alfred
+and Robert are gone until September. Ouch.
+<br /><br />
+
+The Crumbly Goodness server (at <B>quake.pablotron.org</B> is down)
+again, and it could be quite some time before it's back up. The box
+is at Alfred's house, and he's in Hong Kong. Fortunately he's using
+<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/default.asp">Win2k</a>,
+so none of us can administer it remotely, or kill the server
+and restart it when it goes nuts. Apparently people have been ICQing
+him, letting him know it's down, and he contacts his roommate, who
+then restarts the Q3A server, but that's just silly. Real Operating
+Systems provide full access to the system via a command line -- it's
+the only way to cater to virtually every operating system in existence.
+Looks like <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Redmond</a> loses 10
+points; <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">Berkley</a> and
+<a href="http://www.linux.com/">Helsinki</a> each gain 1000.
+<br /><br />
+
+I'm about done, but I should mention
+<a href="http://www.fuckedcompany.com/">this cool web page</a> (brought
+to you courtesy of Siobahn from #e). Also, be the first kid on your
+block to get an idiotic email address: details are
+<a href="http://www.britneyspearsmail.com/">here</a> and
+<a href="http://www.mary-kateandashley.com/">here</a> (thanks to
+Filgy and RADKade1).
