It ain't broke, don't fix it!
More and more often, I get the occasion for a violent rant. This means one of two things: either a) I become older and crazier or b) this world becomes too stupid and too crazy for me.

Miguel de Icaza on Open Source Java
I thought Miguel de Icaza had some interesting comments to make on the 'should Sun Open Source java issue'. I spent a couple of years working on the Qt/KDE java bindings but never achieved much success in spite of a lot of effort on my part, and I don't think the failure was entirely due to the technical quality of the QtJava bindings.

Novell Open Audio: SUSE Linux 10.1 Unleashed

I think this was not yet mentioned on Planet SUSE, at least Ted didn't blog about it as he was on vacation: Novell Open Audio, the company's own podcast show, had a long episode about the SUSE Linux 10.1 release last week. Not Michael Loeffler as advertized but Martin Lasarsch (notlocalhorst) was interviewed for almost half an hour about the cool stuff in SUSE Linux 10.1.

bzr vs darcs

After reading Toms blog I installed and tried Bazaar (bzr). I wanted to anyway since this is Mark Shuttleworths answer to svn and cvs.
I tried it and I must say I'm disappointed. Not because of the ideas it has, they are very good and they address the problems cvs and svn have head on, which Tom also noted.

Adding a Ruby Interpreter menu to Konsole
I've recently added a 'Ruby Interpreter' menu to start an irb shell in Konsole. Just create a file called ruby.desktop in /usr/share/apps/konsole with the following contents: [Desktop Entry] Type=KonsoleApplication Name=Ruby Interpreter Comment=Ruby Exec=/usr/bin/irb And that's it! Your Konsole will then have menu entry under 'Session' called Ruby.

For those using Gentoo and building KDE4, you'll find the latest ebuild for cmake here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131080
I personally have not been using their rpath patch... KDE4 works w/o it...

Linux in government: CLLAP 2006
Some time ago, I got a personal invitation to represent KDE with a booth at CLLAP on May 23-24 2006. Altough this event happily intersects with my work and my (already legendary) lack of personal time, I decided to give it a go (read more...)

Installing opensuse 10.1 from the network.
Zander

I had a frustrating hour today, I wanted to install suse on this spare machine here so I can test the KOffice packages on that, and other distros. I choose the small image that downloads everything during the install; which is what I always do for installing Debian. (not that I install that more then ones per machine, but still, familiarity gets you points : ).
