One of the hardest things about being a framework developer is getting things right. There are a lot of tough choices you face when you're looking at an open set of applications. Getting things adequate is often fairly easy, but getting them right is a lot more conceptual work. As a framework developer you're often stuck with your choices for a lot longer. Three related examples: Read More

I arrived yesterday from a 10 days holidays around Spain. There are some things that I'd like to share with everyone, so I'll try to tell a brief report about it. Read More

For those of you who might not be aware, KDevelop v4 is starting to take shape, at least behind the scenes. For some time now we have had Roberto's new c++ parser in the code base but not doing very much. Then Matt and Adam worked hard on improving project management support (including native support for CMake) and the background parser / code model, so now we have a functional code model (even if not in the final state).

KWord will get a new textengine in version 2.0, it will be based on Qt4s scribe engine. And I've been working on this for the last week. Scribe gives me the ability to implement just the actual sizing and positioning of lines. Which means a minimum of code needed to do cool things. I like that. Read More

I've made a Qt 4 client to Ubuntu's Hardware Database which lets you anonymously submit details of your machine. You can then attach your given ID to any bug reports and the data is also collected into interesting statistics for the Ubuntu distributions to find out about our user's hardware. Read More

Last night I discovered a new, and really enjoyable, activity to try to get out of my boredom and depression, and no for the perverts out there I'm not talking about masturbation... for the one I'm talking about you need more equipment, I know some perverts will say you can use a lot of thing to do it ...

Linux Magazine informed me that they put parts of their September 2006 issue online including a PDF copy of the "KTools: Beagle Helpers - Kerry and KBeaglebar" story. It's about the 0.1 version of Kerry though. The Kerry development paused a bit after the 0.2 Beta but I plan to continue it again after Kickoff (to be included in openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 4) is now being close to be a good looking, usable and sophisticated start menu - also thanks to previous work done for KBeagleBar and Kerry.

I've just read about the forthcoming Greenphone with a Qtopia development kit. If I can port Qt4 QtRuby to it, I want one right now! I could hack together custom apps to access web services like google via GPRS. It has 64 Mb of RAM and 128 Mb of flash, with expansion slot which sounds as though it should be enough to fit a QtRuby development environment. Does it take standard sims, or can you only use it with certain service providers? Read More

Today I wrote this and it's close enough to what I'm currently thinking: L.ost I.interest in this F.ucking E.xistance .... no nobody will get bonus point out of this one Read More

As some might have understood from my last blog, I'm currently in a really bad phase ( I don't know if I'm still on the down one or slowly get up the hill). Read More
