title: Minor Updates and New Software
---

I posted my backup scripts for the web server to the
<a href="/download/">Download page</a>, you can check it out
<a href="/download/#backup_sh">here</a>.  Also, the
<a href="/projects/cam/">Cam page</a> finally has some content,
including a screenshot showing off some neat feh features.  I
added a browser check-list and some design tips to the
<a href="/code/">Code page</a>, and I also moved the view
any page section to the top.  The <a href="/feedback/">Feedback
page</a> is now titled the <a href="/contact/">Contact page</a>
because that's what it really is.  The sidebar and
<a href="/map/">Site Map</a> also received various updates, and
I fixed a tiny rendering problem for
<a href="http://www.lynx.org/">Lynx</a>.
Last of all, I updated the front page to hold 8 news items
instead of 5 -- news was getting flushed to the archives a bit
quicker than I wanted it to.
<br /><br />

I updated to the newest version of
<a href="http://gnomeicu.gdev.net/">GnomeICU</a>.  It's looking good.
Not only did they fix the annoying send-through-server bug (eg all
the disappearing ICQ messages), but they added a "message chat" feature
ala ICQ for Windows.  Keep up the good work, guys.
<br /><br />

I also updated <a href="http://galeon.sourceforge.net/">Galeon</a>.
Not a whole lot of new stuff, but the latest release does improve
the bookmark handling, and it adds an almost-full-screen option.
I'm still waiting for the big four: working global keybindings, 
cookie support, plugin support (hopefully native Netscape plugin
support, but that might be asking a bit much), and functional file
transfer.
<br /><br />

I'm thinking about whipping up a linux help page, ala 
<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert's</a> Linux help
spot.  Let me know if you're interested in seeing something like
this, and if so, what you'd like me to cover.
