I was offline for a few days and these are some of the things that I missed:-
- Drupal 4.7-beta1 was out.
- Linus Torvalds made a headline again.
- A few spams in my guestbook and comments entry. Thanks spammy.
As for drupal 4.7-beta1, I made a quick test on the CVS head but not going too deep into it. I’m still on my way home and once I get back, I’ll start looking into 4.7 seriously. For the linus stuff, it’s quite fun to skim through the mailing list archives (if you intend to waste some of your precious time ). Somehow, I have to agree with him but I’m not using GNOME anymore and the last GNOME I’ve try was 2.6 so it’s not fair for me to say anything. For my pleasure, this is the quote that I like much from linus:-
And every single other WM I know of has no problem assigning the different actions to different buttons. Some WM’s let you program these things almost totally freely (fvwm), others have a small fixed set of actions that they allow you to bind to the window behaviour - but they allow you to bind to the mouse button YOU want. Gnome? Nada. I’m surprised it even allows “focus-follows-mouse” behaviour (which as everybody knows is the only correct behaviour, and only God knows why both KDE and gnome default to that horrid click-to-focus, but notice how I’m not complaining about that BECAUSE I CAN FIX IT!)
and this is the full threads:-
If you ask me which desktop enviroment do I prefer, I would say XFCE (4.2 and later) but now I’m using KDE. For so long I used evilwm together with screen to manage my desktop and then I found that XFCE 4.2 can do all the things that evilwm could plus some extra stuffs.
