I've received 2 emails asking for more blogging and info about current klik2, especially since FOSDEM 2008.

Due to too little testing, the Milestone 3 release announcement is postponed until Wednesday. It may actually happen even later, should I have no time to really do it on Wednesday evening, due to my work-work obligations.

Anyway, here is what we have planned for M3.

The FOSDEM 2008 organizers now have published their 'speakers interview' with probono and myself.

If you are interested in some background about the current klik2 development, it may be serving as a good general introduction into the concepts.

This weekend it's time to announce it. Finally: klik2 development has reached our internal "Milestone 2".

Now that OpenOffice.org does make some splashes in the IT press for the sole achievement of having created a "portable" version that can run from an USB stick (on Windows only, that is) -- isn't it time for klik to get ready for gaining its own share of public fame sometime soon?

This afternoon it looks like I'll get to go tomorrow to the Systems fair in Munich. I've got various exhibitor booths to visit and see what new things they have on offer, and also one or two meetings arranged already.

However, there is one thing I'm especially keen to see: x2go.

What a coincidence today happened. In the morning I used KDEPrint's 'poster' frontend to create a "poor man's poster" in A1 size from 4 A3 printouts.

I took the time, mailed her back what I knew about the question, and included a few screenshots.

Some of you may remember my blog post "How to simulate a slow network (after all, QT_FLUSH_PAINT=1 doesn't work with Qt3)" from nearly two years ago.

After all, I'm still getting a private mail or two every half year inquiring about it. That blog post did describe in some detail how you can use a command like

Today I experienced two moments of bewilderment, the second one mixed with dismay. At first, when I googled for something unrelated, on one of the returns I saw a forum post where someone said "Icaza himself says that OOXML is superb". Well, first I was amazed, then I shrugged, and wrote it off as a troll, and continued with my other tasks. Two hours later I remembered again.

I've never [image:2980 align="left" size="preview" hspace=4 vspace=2 border=0 class="showonplanet"] seen Xinerama combined with Compiz/Beryl/XGL (or AIGLX) in action. This morning, when checking out a printing-related blog, I stumbled upon a little YouTube video showing exactly that. It does look amazing indeed.
