New Blog coming soon...

I haven't posted in a while because I have been messing around with Drupal and boning up on my design skills because that is where I am seriously lacking. I've got Drupal figured out for the most part, but I haven't looked into building my own modules yet which it seems I am going to have to do because of some limitation I have already run into. The big issue is that there are still a ton of useful modules that haven't been updated to work with version 6 yet. Currently I am putting to use a little knowledge I gained about design to create a new site which uses Drupal. I have the design almost finalized but I'm still ironing out the details.

In other news, Evolution-rss-1.1 fixed my dark theme problem and it works on Evo 2.24. Webkit got another performance boost but yet again I am left out with a 64-bit machine. And finally Flash 10 was released. It totally borks my computer. A while back I upgraded both Xorg and Flash. After that I was having problems with my system completely crashing when the display blanked and I thought it was due to Xorg but it turns out after reinstalling the official release of Flash 10 it started happening again. I uninstalled and the problem goes away. I could never figure out how I got rid of the problem last time it happed but now I know. It's sad too because Flash 10 actually fixed a lot of issues for me like the infamous disappearing drop down menus that seem to hide behide the content.

Evolution-RSS SVN Ebuild

Ok so I haven't been able to get it to build yet but I am working on an evolution-rss svn ebuild. My main impetus for this ebuild has been the fact that I filed a bug a week or two ago about the appearance of feeds when using a dark theme and it is now apparently resolved in svn. This and the lack of a dbus connection are my two biggest gripes with evolution-rss. The theme bug is the classic "light text on white background" issue that seems to plague dark themes. I'm looking forward to GNOME 2.24 because they have been working on dark theme integration. Hopefully this will create a much more usable dark theme environment. Maybe I'll be lucky and a new version of evolution-rss will be released for the new evolution and I won't have to fiddle with this ebuild any more. If I do get it to work before a new version is released I will be sure to share it here.
