Any news on when the fancy transaction scripting features that Bitcoin is supposed to have will be coming online?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

There are currently only two scripts allowed in transactions. You want more

As soon as somebody codes a use for it in the standard bitcoin client, discusses it here, tests it out on the testnet and makes a pull request.

Otherwise you will have to send special transactions to a special miner and pay a fee, lest they never be included in a block. And of course your receiver will need a special version of the bitcoin software to redeem the transaction.

is the miners really blocking wierd transactions?

all scripts are allowed, i think... but the official bitcoin client only emits 2 types.

Have a look at IsStandard in the bitcoin source code. A lot of miners use that to decide whether to include a transaction in a block.

Eligius accepts "non-standard" transactions.

The official client is. It also doesn't relay them. Meaning you need both a miner/pool like Luke's that accepts them as well as a direct connection there.
