Native Google Earth for Linux

Beineri  | 
We knew that some big companies like Adobe or Google developed some of their applications for MS Windows with the Qt toolkit. But they didn't take full advantage of Qt's cross-platform sweetness. Until now. Google released yesterday Google Earth Beta 4 and if you look closely at their download page there is a Linux version available. This is not using some Wine wrapper as Picasa before but is a native Qt 3 application. Time for other companies to wake it? Hello Adobe! Read More

aKademy, KDE, Akonadi, SUSE, JPod

I wrecked my wrist nine days ago. My doctor says I will be able to use it again in a week. Hope he is right. I would cross my fingers, if it wouldn't hurt so much. Anyway, there are some exciting things I wanted to write about, so I'm blogging single-handedly now. Read More

developer.kde.org work

I've been giving some of developer.kde.org a bit of love. In particular, the "Joining Us" page (http://developer.kde.org/joining/) is now hopefully a bit more useful on how to get involved in various aspects of KDE development - not just coding, but all aspects. There is a lot more to do - hoperfully I'll get some more done over this weekend. Read More

12000 KDE desktops on SUSE Linux; SUSE 10.1 Package Manager Update

Beineri  | 
Two good news today: ZDnet reports about a German tax authority migrating 12000 desktops to KDE on SUSE Linux from Solaris. And a first SUSE Linux 10.1 package management update (should be installed with YaST Online Update) was released which fixes several annoying bugs (performance improvements are planned for later).

smart

Today I started to use smart on all the suse-10.1 systems I use and, in the joy, I installed it on my suse-9.3 systems too. Life is better now.

New kid on the block

Krake  | 
Yesterday I got my new laptop. I got it in the meanest possible way I could have imagined: two minutes before I had to leave for work sigh I barely had time to check the contents of the box and it didn't matter what kind of things I got to work on at the office, most of my thoughts were occupied with my precious.

Qyoto custom slots and signals are working

The Qyoto C#/mono bindings are getting quite close to being useful. I first started on them about two and a half years ago, and so it's taken forever to get going. But we've just passed a key milestone, which is getting the cannon game tutorial t7 working.
