Phil pointed me at this article and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while. Because some people are stupid.

Beagle 0.0.10 is finally out. It’s the first version sans D-BUS, so it should be substantially easier to get up and running for most people. I’m very excited by this release. Several times now I have let the indexer run overnight on my tremendous corpus of data and been very pleased with [...]

Nat: Those Mezzo mockups are pretty neat. I think I like the idea of hiding all the windows as you open the documents dingus. You could really go a good job with the animations that Xgl would make possible there. The so-called menagerie bothers me, though, because by being on the desktop, [...]

Well, in the last month they’ve basically completed the outside of the house. Observe:

My RSS feed was broken following my upgrade to wordpress 1.5.1. Should be fixed now. My apologies in advance if it screws up any aggregators/planets.
I have to get a PS3. Dumb boomerang controller aside, that thing has stetic. The Xbox 360… not so much.
