What could DHL be doing delivering me a parcel I wondered early this morning. Well it seems my Google Summer of Code 205 t-shirt turned up, just in time for me to start looking through the 200 KDE applications and just as many Ubuntu applications for Summer of Code 2006. Read More

My main system is an HP Pavilion laptop. I bought it refurbished a couple years ago, direct from HP. And, since it as a refurb, I figured it would be wise to also get the extended warranty. Read More

After seeing Seele's list of books I decided that I liked the idea. There's something in my personality that likes collecting physical media -- books, CDs, records. It's obvious when I move and I have a tiny amount of furniture, a box of clothes, a few things from the kitchen and then like 10 boxes of books and a pile of pro-audio gear. Read More

A few weeks ago a Gwenview user asked if it would be possible to implement file name filtering. I initially answered that while the idea was nice, I didn't have time to work on it. Read More
