Its been a long time since i updated here so here goes got myself a total system upgrade a tft screen, Nvidia 3d accelarator card and a lot of other goodies. Have loaded Kubuntu Feisty Fawn as my OS the amount of support for 3D acclerator cards that is moving in to this release is amazing. Also got myself the latest build of Beryl, Beryl is bascially a combined window manager and composite manager a fork of the compiz project, its a software which adds huge amount of UI improvements to the linux window mangers effects like transperency, window decorations (Emerald Themes), Desktop Cube etc. Beryl is a UI experince which adds a rich layer of interactivity to Gnome and KDE. Beryl makes the job of using the computer a real pleasure something that needs to be experienced to be really appreciated.

Among other things have been verey exited about the Gaussian blur filter built into Inkscape its the first SVG filter being implemented, there is a cool tututorial at Red Hat which explores the design possibilities with the Gaussian Blur. Feels verey cool that i can creat inner glows and skewed drop shadows for my design with Inkscape.
