From 4b6c0e31385f5f27a151088c0a2b614495c4e589 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Duncan Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 12:47:50 -0400 Subject: initial commit, including theme --- content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 76 insertions(+) create mode 100644 content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html (limited to 'content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html') diff --git a/content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html b/content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..88c1d2d --- /dev/null +++ b/content/posts/2001-03-16-pheh-phun.html @@ -0,0 +1,76 @@ +--- +date: "2001-03-16T02:28:00Z" +title: Pheh Phun +--- + +Well, it's not ready for release just yet, but I've been working on a +new version of Pheh today. A pre-0.3.0 +screenshot showing off the new thumbnail window is available +here. Other +good stuff: PLib 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 my CVS +page. +

+ +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 +render_method 3d_Hardware line in your ~/.pheh/phehrc). +

+ +Speaking of NVidia, the 0.9-7 +drivers came out a few days ago. Things are still working good, +and I get a noticeable framerate boost in +Quake 3. It looks like +they tweaked the TwinView support and managed to alleviate some of +the "dual-head tax". The new drivers also support the +X Render +extension, although I haven't had a chance to try it out just yet. +There's a patch for +QT that adds +anti-aliased font support to QT (and, by extension, +KDE applications) floating +around somewhere; I'll post a bit about it once I've had a chance +to try it out. +

+ +While I'm thinking about it, I just remembered that +Nautilus 1.0 came out +the other day. Don't waste your time trying it. While they did +manage to address a few of +my complaints abut PR2, +Eazel +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 +speed, +one for it's +size, +and one for it's +stability. +If you're still gung-ho about installing Nautilus, you should +probably consider a +leaner or +more stable +alternative. On the other hand, if you're actually looking for a +decent graphical file manager, I recommend either +Konqueror or +Andrew Shugg's unsupported and unmaintained + +older EFM CVS snapshots. +

+ +Oh yeah, Raster 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 +whiny +modem +users. Anyway, +I'm pretty sure I've managed to offend just about everyone, so that's +it for today. + -- cgit v1.2.3
