Updates. Kind of. More or less…

I’ve been fairly lax in updating my blog for a wile, so here’s a slew of snippets:

I finally got around to downloading the new version of [drivel](http://www.dropline.net/drivel/) from CVS; and then I, of course, had to go and turn into an RPM to install… Some days I’m just too much of a geek for my own good.

While I was at it, I also downloaded the newest version of [RSSOwl](http://www.rssowl.org/), version 1.2, which does very well on Java 1.5.0 on Fedora. Now they just have to get it going on GCJ and compile it, and I will be well satisfied with it. Hmm… Wishful thinking.

My blog’s look seems to have settled for the time being, even though the [Girl](http://www.geeksgirl.org.za) has voiced her displeasure at my choice of brown. Mind you, any brown would be considered a no-no, not just this particular shade thereof.

Unfortunately, like most guys I’m capable of identifying the tree primary colours with black and white fairly accurately about 80% of the time. The secondary colours give me slightly more problems; and beyond that I don’t even try. No wonder I stick with simplistic colour schemes…

Now I need to actually do something about my main site, [Joomla!](http://www.joomla.org) might be the answer there, but that means I’ll have to spend some time gluing them together with a wee bit of PHP and some CSS magic. Not difficult, I grant, but time consuming none the less.

And lastly, as a note to myself, I really *do* need to update the blog more often…
