I've been blogging about the library flake a little over the last weeks; its a library thats going to be the graphical object handling library for KOffice 2.0. The Wiki page shows the full set of features, but the first feature there lists: Read More

when I left the office today, I wrote todo's on two post-its - one to stay there, one to process during the weekend back home. hmm - I just put my notebook out of the bag and what happened? The office post-it was sticking on my notebook, while I left the one for the weekend at the desk.... the annoying part about it is that I can remember exactly two out of the three items that were written on it. eletronic todos are so much more useful!!!

I'm "back" from CLLAP 2006 (quotes around the word back because it was a 15 minutes drive to home) (ed. 2006-05-26: I started to write this on 2006-05-24...) Although the conference was international and addressed to governments, the expo that accompanied it (and in which we had a KDE booth) was very small. Read More

As you've no doubt read on Adriaan's blog, the KDE Four Multimedia Meeting kicked off today. Previously known as K3M, we decided to extend the name to reflect the other KDE Four developer meetings that will be held later this year and give them a more common naming. Read More

Yay I got my SoC project accepted! So what is it: avKode - A Phonon backend for FFMPEG It is basically killing a horrible interface and an error-source called xinelib, and going directly to the source. This also enables more powerfull features in the long run such as capture and encoding. Read More

I've been meaning to post about this for literally half a year now. But a recent thread on kde-core about improving the GUI for searching in KDE applications has finally pushed me into action. Read More

The release candidate for Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, also known as Dapper, is out now for your downloading pleasure (please use bittorrent). The LTS stands for Long Term Support which means the Ubuntu team and Canonical will support it for 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server. The focus for the release has been fixing all the bugs, and while we havn't got all of them it is feeling really polished. Read More

Bad News: As mentioned in a previous blog my notebook's harddrive did pass silently yesterday afternoon. This was my main KDE development system. Good News: I decided to use this opportunity to purchase a new HP Pavilion desktop system. Yes, the new system will have lots more processing power and RAM, but I'm really excited about the 19" flat screen. I'll eventually put a new harddrive in the notebook for other purposes. But for now, the tired old-soldier is patiently awaiting further instructions. Bottom Line: No KDE development for a least a week.
