THAT’S RIGHT KIDS!!!1!!ONE!!!
It’s a massive overhaul of the current dashboard…actually no…it’s a totally new dashboard 
I’ve had a poke and a prod around various sites, and it does look quite funky (and yes - the Wii style avatar things are true, but they don’t look that bad actually).
I’m really quite looking forward to it, hopefully it won’t be ridiculously slow when it’s finally released (I can think of a certain (read: current) release that can be painfully slow at times…)
I also found a link to what looks like a genuine (if somewhat small) gallery of images for the new dashboard.

Now this is a surprise for me writing this!
I used to hate emesene, I didn’t like the way it functioned, I hated the constant updating (it’s still a little bit annoying, but at least the updates aren’t even half as slow as a certain other OS’s updates (read: Windows <All Versions> ;))) and I just generally preferred aMsn, maybe I preferred that slightly because I compiled it from source, whereas emesene was a simple “sudo apt-get install emesene” - who knows (or cares).
But I’m now using it, and I’m just in the middle of editing my .conkyrc file (any excuse to use Vim…) And I’ve got another couple of posts in the works which should appear in the next day or so.
Good to be back!
