I installed the sixth alpha version of the upcoming version of Ubuntu last night and was pleasantly surprised to find some new themes after installing the updates. There has been talk of a theme overhaul for some time now and I was kind of doubtfull that it would happen. New themes that are now available in the alpha version include Dust, Dust Sand (very mac-ish) and New Wave which one that particularly fond of and currently using on my machine at home. I have no idea whether or not these themes will be included in the final release but I’m really hoping that one of them might replace Human as the new default theme. Below are some screen shots:

Dog food
I don’t think I’ve ever seen our dogs eat their chunks. When their bowls are filled they gather around semi-excited with expectant looks, examine the bowl for about 2 seconds then walk away as if to say: “You bastard! How dare you feed me this crap!”. Later their bowls will be empty. It’s like by some unspoken principle they simply refuse to eat in front of me. Maybe they solely live of table scraps and its really the neighbourhood pigeons pecking up their pellets.
