KDE Blogs 

For the first time, FrOSCon will take place this year in St. Augustin near Bonn, the former capital of Germany. Due to its location, it is also in reasonably short distance for most KDE contributors from the BeNeLux countries. Read More

And now a message from our sponsor... A special offer for KDE developers! Now you can run the Krazy Code Checker locally on your code! Here's how: % svn TOP_OF_YOUR_KDE_SVN_TREE % svn update -N trunk/playground/devtools % cd trunk/playground/devtools % svn up krazy % cd krazy % ./install # installs into /usr/local. edit $TOP to change the destination dir If all goes well, krazy should be installed, as well as the krazy man page. Example Krazy runs: % krazy *.cpp *.h % find . -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" | xargs krazy Note that I'll continue to add checks, so you might want to 'svn update' regularly. And don't forget to read the krazy man page for more info, including how to write your own checker plugins.

In the interests of making sure KDE works with CUPS 1.2 the lovely people at MEPIS (now based on Kubuntu) bought me an HP printer. Alas it didn't work (foomatic's fault, not KDE) so I guess there's still some issues to be worked out there. Read More

The KDEPrint team is willing to mentor two projects in the frame of Google's Summer of Code". We would like a student to work on streamlining and improving, usability-wise, the KDEPrint user interfaces. Then there is the very inciting idea of a common, cross-platform, generic description of printer driver and application-side plug-ins to the KDEPrint dialog. Read More

First, if anyone over at planetkde is reading this... I can't seem to get clee's attention. I need him to change the URL of my blog there. Now that I've been mentioned in Aaron's blog I feel like a VIP (Very Important Person/Programmer). Yes, the APIDOX error reporting is now all beautified. I wrote some perl that takes the doxygen error logs and converts into our defacto standard html report format. Hope this helps. And while your over at The EBN, don't forget to check out what the "Krazy Code Checker" thinks about your favorite source code. I wrote the krazy tool too.. with lots of inspiration from Ben Meyer's testscripts. Contact me if you want to help write some krazy code checking plugins (in perl, python, ruby, ...)

This is my first blog entry in a long, long time. And I will use the occassion to praise and thank the digiKam developers for their wonderful application. I hadn't used digiKam for some time, but yesterday several dozen digital pictures I needed to resize, crop, enhance, and email to family. digiKam made the entire process easy and fun to do. A joy. Thanks again digiKam team!

During last weekend I managed to find some time to continue developing the web interface for digikam that I mentioned in a previous blog entry, so I added some new features: Read More

With a 7-days delay, here is what I still remember ;-) of my activity at LWCE Toronto 2006. I went there pushed by George Staikos (who couldn't go this year) and sponsored by the organizers (Plum Communications of Canada). Read More

I guess you all already knew about it, but just in case you didn't: KDE is participating again in the Google Summer of Code. So, submit all of those ideas that you had but never had had the courage to start working on! Read More

Since my previous machine heated too much and crashed all the time, my employer (KDAB) got me a new HP Pavillion t3350 machine, with a dual-core Athlon 64 X2 (M) 3800+ 2.0 GHz CPU - very nice :) Read More
