OfB: Scott, perhaps summarizing what you've said before, can you give us a roadmap for KDE multimedia? Where is KDE Multimedia heading? Where is the place of KDE Multimedia in the future of KDE?

After seeing Seele's list of books I decided that I liked the idea. There's something in my personality that likes collecting physical media -- books, CDs, records. It's obvious when I move and I have a tiny amount of furniture, a box of clothes, a few things from the kitchen and then like 10 boxes of books and a pile of pro-audio gear.

Insomnia has to be one of the worst things in the universe. It seems that I've been due for my annual fit of such. Life has been rather stressful lately and while I usually deal well with stress, my body seems to rebel after a certain threshold. I've slept about 3 hours total in the last two nights.

I decided to change the post title when I looked at the Planet and saw that Matthias's post about the Berlin office is right up there at the top.

Some amusing advertising has come to my attention this week.

The first instance of such was all kinds of bad, and provided by the catering company that's used at my office. Now, bad advertising and ill-conceived food scheme are nothing new for them, but they hit a new low this week -- the "Volksburger". I'm not one of those with a fancy cell phone that has a built in camera, so I've reproduced the sign with a bit of quick gimping for your viewing pleasure.

I still haven't managed to settle into a PPC distro that I like for my iBook. I just tried the latest OpenSUSE RC and YaST segfaulted before the installer really got anywhere. This is not dissimilar from my experiences the last time I tried to install it. (Though this time around at least it authoritatively crashed during the install with no hope of recovery -- unlike a few months back when I tried it and it gave cryptic and conflicting error messages and still wouldn't install.)

So, in typical blog-o-riffic fashion, since I seem to be back in the world of the blogging, here I go with a set of largely unrelated KDE/geek-ish notes:

I want to have an iterator with an encapsulated "next" function. These iterators will be returned from a class that knows how to advance over the data structure, but that should be completely hidden from the users of the iterator.

Simply declaring the iterator must not require knowledge of the function which is advancing the iterator. (As that will be implementation dependant with multiple implementations. See the create() function in the second example.)

This weekend I've done a bit more playing around with InterTag, a small application I mentioned recently.

A year and a half ago I first tried out Interview and noted my thoughts on it. In the last few days I've revisited it and have to say that the API is still pretty quirky.
