+title: Software Updates...
+---
+
+I finally updated my
+<a href="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</a> setup at home to
+<a href="http://www.helixcode.com/">Helix GNOME</a>.  I had been
+planning on doing this for several months, but I had to clear off some
+cruft on my root partition in order to fit all the crap in.  For those
+of you who have no drive space, you might check your 
+$PREFIX/share/themes and $PREFIX/share/locale directories (where $PREFIX
+is either /usr or /usr/local) -- they were using over 100 megs of 
+space on my system.
+<br /><br />
+
+On a related note, I also switched over to
+<a href="http://galeon.sourceforge.net/">Galeon</a> as my primary
+web browser (even on my piece of shit home system).  Oddly enough
+the bookmark importer works fine on my home system, but fails miserably
+on my work machine.  Also, there still isn't correct download support,
+and a there are a few other quirks here and there.  But overall, 
+I think it's a better browser than Nutscrape.
+<br /><br />
+
+<a href="/projects/">EWL</a> is still coming along.  Evas support
+works correctly for the background image, and I incorperated Evas
+support throughout the EWL Theme API, but it still doesn't
+render widgets quite right.  I'll work on that some more this week,
+along with an actual working implementation of something me and
+several other E developers have been talking about for a while.
+The short, short version is that we're tired of using one format
+for theming -- there's no reason why you can't have a dynamic 
+modular theme and config loading system that allows users to pick
+their own format (be it a fast local database, XML, off of an SQL
+server, or via http).  I'll have more information if and when I have a
+working sample implementaion.
