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!
