Since I am missing important features from the kdedevelopers.org blog system I am moving my blog to wordpress. From now on all Nepomuk related blogs will be posted there.

Amazing how long it always takes for me to write a log entry. So many times in the last months I told myself I had to write the next entry... well, new year's resolution (a little late I know): more blogging about what I am up to (regarding KDE of course). Read More

I always thought that some KDE apps looked a bit cluttered. Yesterday I finally tried to do something about it. I started with Gwenview. Two things bothered me: 1. the status bar buttons were too small for their text. Read More

It has been a while since I blogged. The reason is simple: the birth of my daughter turned my brain upside down (as in: "as far as I can tell there exists only one thing in the whole world and it is not this blog"). Read More

The new Strigi service a blogged about before is in svn trunk now. With it Strigi is now enabled by default. But that is no need to be alarmed. I think it behaves quite nicely. Read More

It took me one and a half day and Jos will not be happy about it. That is because I have to start this blog entry with apologizing to him: Read More

No, I did not forget about the virtual folders, but I also did not implement subfolders or a graphical query editor. Shame on me, I know. I thought it was more important to focus on stability and a clean API first. Read More

After more than two weeks of vacation I read up on my email and of course am also sickened by some of the stuff I have to read there. Let me open with a quote: Read More

Really. I just got my awesome KDE metal gear award for my work on K3b and I have to say: work of art. This is so cool and such an honor. Read More

Well, maybe "The Next Level" is overstating it but I improved the query API a lot. Not only can we now properly handle all sorts of literal comparisons but we can also use plain SPARQL queries. Read More

Virtual Folders in KDE You can tag files, you can annotate them, Strigi indexes your files, I showed how to create new information types and things, but you could not really use it. Read More

Now what is that supposed to mean? The "real" Nepomuk? Well, you did not actually think that I would introduce an RDF store into KDE just to save some tags and ratings? Read More

We probably all know the situation: I finally fixes the last bug in Soprano. Yes, I know, there probably is no such thing as the last bug. But it feels good to lie to myself in this case. Read More

Some words on performance Nepomuk performance has always been a bit of a problem. Last but not least this was due to the D-Bus communication with the Nepomuk server that took place all the time. Read More

Now that the Nepomuk project review is done I can get back to promoting Nepomuk features and possibilities. Today I will show how existing Nepomuk and Soprano technologies can be combined to provide very simple "Social" capabilities. Read More

I just commited the finalized KRatingPainter to svn trunk which allows to paint a rating value using any QPainter. I think it is quite nice since it allows to specify the alignment, a spacing, a custom icon, the maximum rating, a hover rating, and so forth. Read More

I am proud to announce that finally nepomuk.kde.org went online. A owe a big thank you to pinheiro who not only designed the new Nepomuk icon but also did the webpage layout. Read More

In my previous posts I used some terms that probably need explaining. The following descriptions should not be used as basis for any exam and may very well scare some academic semantic web professionals, but they get me through the day. Read More

Search - a very important topic when it comes to data in general. The same is true for metadata and all that is Nepomuk. I blogged about the virtual folders idea for KMail which will be realized through Nepomuk. Read More

Last weekend I was invited to the KDE-PIM meeting in Osnabrück to represent Nepomuk. First of all I have to say: thanks a lot for inviting me, guys. The meeting was a lot of fun (although staying awake got harder during the course of the three days you crazy work-maniacs! Read More

For many Nepomuk is a rather abstract thing. So I will not try to explain it as a project again. I will just show what I have been up to. Randomly. Read More

Why I failed before: I have no idea. Maybe the password mails got lost in the spam filter or I was just blind. Who knows. Important is that I am not using blogger which clee will like to hear (although I will be missing the WYSIWYG editor). Read More
