While I remember this there’s a GTK2 theme for DR17 that fits in with grey/gold look of the default theme.
Things are starting to come together.

Want to try Enlightenment DR17? Of course you do. Don’t want to install all those bits and pieces and then find it’s not for you? Now you don’t have to.
Elivecd is a cd based version along the lines of knoppix and it’s variants but the only window managers available this time are Enlightenment DR16 and DR17.
There’s a review of Elivecd over at Flavios Techo Talk although I’m not sure how involved the author is with Enlightenment, if at all, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide how biased it is.
Certainly worth keeping an eye on and with cd based distros being used nowdays as rescue disks this may well be a good way of working within a familiar environment if the need arises.

Talking of the Mercury music awards (heh it turns out to be called something else) I decided to keep a closer eye on things after Bloc Party.
Which turned out to be a good move otherwise I’d have missed The Go! Team. God, I thought this lot were brilliant. I’ve always had a soft spot for people who just couldn’t keep still on stage and they were all over the place, in a good way. Watching them I had the same feeling as seeing At The Drive In for the first time on Jools Holland’s show. You get the feeling if you look in one place for more than 2 seconds you’re missing something else, and you probably are.
The music? It was loud. It was shouty. I loved it. Feed me.
I was sick as a dog on wednesday night, so much so that I’m still feeling the effects today, so I’m sitting at home writing this. Just catching up before I go back to bed.
We first saw Bloc Party on the live coverage of this years Glastonbury. To begin with I wasn’t sure one way or another, live performance being what it is but towards the end it all came together. We liked Bloc Party.
It wasn’t until I was at the airport a couple of weeks back that I picked up the album which has made them grow on me even more. I hadn’t realised they were nominated for the Mercury music awards as I don’t usually take much interest in awards. Kim was watching it while I was in the other room and I wasn’t paying much attention but something filtered through to my subconcious as they started playing “So here we are” and I went to have a look. Brilliant.
We like Bloc Party. Very much.
