Keep a smile :-) ;-) :-( :-P on your face ;- )

The lack of comfort when joining mailing lists is annoying. If anybody wants to make me a little bit less grumpy, try the following:
- design a XML Scheme / file format to describe a mailing list (and especially how to join and leave it)

Why everything I do lately doesn't work!!!!
first the palmos and now my main desktop ...
What could be worst than that? My new girlfriend leaving me for my ex-wife????

folk festing all weekend at the Calgary Folk Fest... hope to meet Ani at the after party tonight... no KDE'ing till the weekend's over... =)

OK... So I have managed to install KDE on qt-copy these days... now going back to development...

I am figuring, that xmame has some really weird and funky options, like -norotate isn't exactly the same as rotation switch disabled, and -nothrottle isn't the same as throttle switch disabled... Weird... Ok... So I have deactivated the -[no]command switches and now it should work better... Specially in the advanced mode...

Slowly progress is made, we finally got our plugin to load cleanly in Outlook proper this week now that we moved from MS's crappy STL attempt to STLport. There are still some issues with using STL in DLLs but we can login and dont get 5000 assertions from their buggy STL.

Ugh, another bugfix rejected. This one affects at least KAlarm, JuK, KGPG, KGet and Kopete. Bug was acknowledged; patch acknowledged; won't fix before 3.3 (probably more than a year and no help for KDE 3.2).

Hmm, I'm not sure how twisted this is, but I want to do something other than hack irc for a few days. At work everyone is on ICQ, so I run sim to talk to them. But I've never liked the way IM apps run, what was wrong with IRC?!?

Finally! With a bit of hacking and borrowing from the new libxmpp code, the Kopete Jabber plugin is now able to properly encrypt messages and can thus talk with Psi and other Jabber clients in a secure way.

I'm giving a talk next week at the Linux 2003 conference in Edinburgh about UML Modelling with Umbrello. Since I'm not too sure what to say I'm writing notes here in the hope that I'll be struck by inspiration and maybe some useful comments.
