KDE Blogs 

Some might have seen the summary before, because I posted this blog last week, but pulled it again because I wanted to double check that my recommendation is sane in MSIE. Turns out my assumption was right so here it is again: Read More

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

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

I still haven't managed to get sound working on my new HP Pavilion a1320y desktop with Fedora Core 4. Read a lot of suggestions in Fedora Forum without any luck so far. Read More

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).

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.

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.

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. That means you can now define custom slots and signals in C#, and connect them to C++ or C# slots and signals. Read More

** Sebastian, one of the blind participants of the Accessibility-Meets-Usability weekend, just told me that the development of Gnopernicus, a screen reader and magnifier for Gnome, has been stopped. I hope these are just rumours? It would be a pity. Instead, the development of Orca will be reinforced which is actually good news (thanks henrik for the clarification!). Read More

FIFA World Cup is coming to town. I just walked through the city and saw the first fans arrive. Although I don't like football at all, it's nice to see what's happening here in Gelsenkirchen. We got a new station, many streets have been refurbished, the city is full of people again. It's a very seldom opportunity to meet people from a lot of other countries in your own city :-) Read More
