+title: Pheh Phun
+---
+
+Well, it's not ready for release just yet, but I've been working on a
+new version of <a href="/projects/pheh/">Pheh</a> today.  A pre-0.3.0
+screenshot showing off the new thumbnail window is available 
+<a href="/projects/pheh/pheh-0.3.0-pre-shot.png">here</a>.  Other
+good stuff: <a href="/projects/plib/">PLib</a> 0.2.0 support, 
+slightly improved Evas and X code, and probably more stuff that I
+forgot.  If you don't feel like waiting, you can always grab Pheh
+from CVS; instructions are available on <a href="/cvs/">my CVS
+page</a>.
+<br /><br />
+
+I've noticed that Evas, or at least the CVS version, appears to leave
+some bizarre visual artifacts.  This could just be the NVidia 
+OpenGL implementation, or it could be the SGI GLU 1.3 GLU headers
+I'm using.  Anyway, if you have the same problem, try turning off
+pheh hardware acceleration (comment the
+<code>render_method 3d_Hardware</code> line in your ~/.pheh/phehrc).
+<br /><br />
+
+Speaking of <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/">NVidia</a>, the 0.9-7
+drivers came out a few days ago.  Things are still working good,
+and I get a noticeable framerate boost in
+<a href="http://www.quake3arena.com/">Quake 3</a>.  It looks like
+they tweaked the TwinView support and managed to alleviate some of
+the "dual-head tax".  The new drivers also support the
+<a href="http://www.xfree86.org/~keithp/render/">X Render</a>
+extension, although I haven't had a chance to try it out just yet.
+There's a patch for
+<a href="http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/">QT</a> that adds
+anti-aliased font support to QT (and, by extension, 
+<a href="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</a> applications) floating 
+around somewhere;  I'll post a bit about it once I've had a chance
+to try it out.
+<br /><br />
+
+While I'm thinking about it, I just remembered that
+<a href="http://www.eazel.com/software">Nautilus 1.0</a> came out
+the other day.  Don't waste your time trying it.  While they did
+manage to address a few of
+<a href="/reviews/nautilus-PR2/">my complaints abut PR2</a>,
+<a href="http://www.eazel.com/">Eazel</a>
+apparently neglected to fix the two most important problems with
+Nautilus.  As such, I have found three more appropriate mascots for
+Nautilus; one for it's
+<a href="/gallery/proposed_nautilus_mascots/speed.jpg">speed</a>,
+one for it's
+<a href="/gallery/proposed_nautilus_mascots/size.gif">size</a>,
+and one for it's
+<a href="/gallery/proposed_nautilus_mascots/stability.gif">stability</a>.
+If you're still gung-ho about installing Nautilus, you should 
+probably consider a
+<a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~natpoor/eniac/">leaner</a> or
+<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsMe/">more stable</a>
+alternative.  On the other hand, if you're actually looking for a
+decent graphical file manager, I recommend either 
+<a href="http://www.konqueror.org/">Konqueror</a> or 
+Andrew Shugg's <i>unsupported and unmaintained</i> 
+<a href="ftp://ftp.neep.com.au/pub/neep/pub/cvs.enlightenment.org/">
+older EFM CVS snapshots</a>.
+<br /><br />
+
+Oh yeah, <a href="http://www.rasterman.com/">Raster</a> redesigned
+his page -- I really like the new layout.  He even broke down and
+divided his photo gallery into several pages.  I suspect it was 
+just to drown out the cacophony of 
+<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">whiny</a>
+<a href="http://www.richlowe.net/">modem</a>
+<a href="http://www.linux2k.freeserve.co.uk/">users</a>.  Anyway,
+I'm pretty sure I've managed to offend just about everyone, so that's
+it for today.
