KDE Blogs 

Sometimes I like such challenging questions (who cares? journalists are sometimes more extreme). Let's look a bit closer at "new" MS's Riboon GUI. If you just want to know who can be sued, and by who, simply jump to the last section of this entry and save some your time. Read More

To complete the KDE 3.5 RC 1 release efforts there is now also a Klax Live-CD with KDE 3.5 RC 1 available. Now let me see if someone left something from this weekend over for me.

Apparently there was a kangaroo in our back yard this morning. Given that just after that we saw a (probably domestic) rabbit, I wonder it it might have been a Were-Rabbit, rather than a 'roo. Read More

KDE 3.5 Release Candidate 1 is finally released. Updating the Konstruct build script was easy, but creating the SUSE packages in time did cost me some hours of sleep which I in my current state should have better spent in bed.

Continuing with the klik User's FAQ today. This time: the sections dealing with "klik and the Base System", "klik and Package Management", "klik Application Wishlist" and "klik Recipe Maintainers". -- Today's local preview: Read More

Maybe you haven't heard this yet as international pr[ess] is slow: After last week's reports that Novell plans to not ship the KDE desktop anymore on Novell Linux Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server products, the company got lots of feedback from its customers. And as is reported in the press (German) Novell listens to them and reconsidered its desktop strategy: Novell will continue to ship KDE also in the enterprise products as supported option and it's said that it will be easy to choose KDE as your desktop. :-) Read More

klik User's FAQ continued. Today the "Usage" section: Usage Q: Where does klik store the newly installed applications? A: All applications are stored on your desktop. In the file system, this is the directory $HOME/Desktop. Read More

I've just spent my first week working at Foton Sistemas Inteligentes in Gran Canaria. I've been learning some Spanish, trying out Ruby on Rails and helping with translating a tourist information site to English. This weekend there is a WOMAD festival in Las Palmas, and I went there last night to see Kanda Bongo Man from the Congo. Wow! Soukous is about my favourite dance music, and being able to just hop on a bus and see that kind of gig for free was amazing. It feels like permanently being on holiday here; the sun shines, people are friendly and you have fun. Yet people work hard and still get lots of stuff done. Read More

No, I didn't drop off the Planet. I just haven't blogged since... hmm, since when? Well, since a while. There's been plenty of stuff deserving a blog, but due to several lousy and less-lousy reasons they never ended up here. Read More

Well.. I'm in the mood to write again in my blog, another one after many months of silence. What to say.. I've started working hard on my degree thesis, trying to figure out how to setup an embedded box equipped with an arm9 cirrus ep9315 processor, with maverick crunch floating point unit. The most interesting part is that I have to recompile all the system from scratch, since I can't simply mix libraries compiled with software floating point with those compiled with hardware fp. So, basically, what I'm going to do is to create a gentoo stage[1,2,3] myself. Many thanks to all the members of the #gentoo-embedded IRC channel and in particular to vapier who has just added glibc patches to support maverick fpu in the portage tree, and who has also applied the same patch to the uclibc cvs code.
