“Dear dear dear, what a horrible query. It’s right, but it’s not testable.”

For a major change to the system. And I have TONS of screenshots. And these people will STILL not understand the importance of it.

This doesn’t work as Tumblog because it isn’t size 24px and in ALL CAPS. I HAVE RECTIFIED THE SITUATION.

It’s true.

Just reinstalled, found a cool theme ‘Elegant Brit’. The theme pack is missing an index.theme, so install the tarball (either through gnome-appearance-properties, or just untarring it to ~/.themes), and then add the following as ‘index.theme’ in ~/.themes/Elegant Brit/


[X-GNOME-Metatheme]
Name=ElegantBrit
Type=X-GNOME-Metatheme
Comment=Elegant Mod
Encoding=UTF-8
GtkTheme=Elegant Brit
MetacityTheme=Elegant Brit
IconTheme=gnome


No disrespect at all to Nigel McFarlane, but what an abominable joke; the McFarlane Prize for excellence in Australian Web Design. The “shortlist” is the real crack-up in this instance. The self-congratulating, back-slapping industry types who a) design and build this wank, and b) submit their own work as evidence of brilliance, and c) crack the champagne and schmooze their way through the awards ceremonies actually make me physically sick.

I’ve seen this stuff in the print world before, and it’s one sickening joke.

My humble suggestion for a better stackoverflow has moved up into the top 20. Have a look and see if you think it’d help.
