The pre-baked approach to building software
Mostly convenience foods are fun but loaded with sugar and salt. But building software needn't be inconvenient or make your waistline or disk requirements start to bulge. I've been pushing the openSUSE Build Service to anyone in the KDE community who'll listen, since making tiny tweaks to existing codebases with minimum effort is exactly what it's designed to do.

NetworkManager-kde4 update
Back in May I blogged about the network management architecture in KDE 4. It's October now and I can't believe we still don't have a native NetworkManager frontend. But there's nothing like a imminent openSUSE release to focus my energies, and now we're a big step closer to having one.

Running TiddlyWiki on the N810
One of the nicest applications I've found for the Nokia N810 is a single html page! TiddlyWiki consists of a page called 'empty.html' that you download and copy when you want to create a new Wiki. It works just like a traditional Wiki but is single user, and doesn't need a web server. The code for the Wiki is embedded within the page as JavaScript and CSS.

Going on the web with Qt

So I have been working underground for a while on a web framework based on Qt but its gotten out of control and I need more help on it. The initial goal was to write a creole 1.0 compliant wiki based on Qt, but soon it grew into a full framework because of the lack of good C++ tools to do web development.

Change of venue
For those few of you interested (is there anyone?): I've started a new blog. If this one is any measure, it will be a pretty dead one, but I think it's the thought that counts =)

If you like to laugh then the Apple presents the iRack clip may something for you - always again impressing how close political reality and good jokes can be :)

A few weeks ago, I decided to write a small utility to help me with my work and also to relearn Qt. This small utility enable me to control the boot process, update the firmware of various devices I have at home and at work.

Advertising

Just watched a very clever advert for the new iphone.
It's a manual, it shows you how to download (and buy) new apps. It's very short, just one feature User ends up having fun - playing game, and then call from a guy Interupting you in the middle of the game is presented as a feature! Slogan about this changing everything (not sure how it's supposed to do so) The advert seems well put together, but I wonder if we couldn't create something similar regarding KDE features?
