Thanks to Markos Chandras, RedNotebook is now in the tree. RedNotebook is a really cool lightweight journal for your desktop. It needs only pygtk and pyyaml. It's got nifty features like a calendar, tags, templates, searches, format export, and more. It's quite actively developed upstream; I plan to proxy-maintain it for the good of Gentoo users everywhere. Go on, try it out!

Also, as you may have noticed, the look of my weblog has changed. Instead of the Evopress skin, I'm now using the Gentoo skin I created for Planet Gentoo, based on Evopress. Now it's all-purple, just like the old Planet look before the b2evolution upgrade some months ago. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to create the top purple graphic; I ended up having to hand-edit that thing pixel by pixel. I couldn't find any easy way using the GIMP to recolor the existing blue gradient into a purple gradient. So I made my own, pixel by pixel. I think it looks pretty good.

All developers that want to switch to the new skin:

1. Log into your backoffice
2. Go to Blog settings -> Skin
3. Select the "evonews" skin
4. Presto, a nice new purplish blog. Wear your colors with pride!

Ignore the "evogentoo" skin; that's a leftover test skin. I still have to iron out that bug, and fix the preview so that it appears on the correct skin entry. Enjoy!
