Last week I had the privilage of meeting Ariya at ScotLUG. I introduced him to Irn-Bru and we discussed Speedcrunch, KSpread, Kubuntu and his top secret project (he didn't let on what it was). Read More

The sun eclipse was also visible from Romania, altough it was not that spectacular. In 1999 was a full eclipse that I was supposed to see from the mountains, but minutes before the eclipse started, the sky was filled by clouds and some minutes after it ended, it cleared up. Go figure. ;-) Now it was cloudy, but cleared up before the eclipse started. I made some digital and non-digital photos. They are not so spectacular as the sone shined quite bright (you couldn't notice the eclipse from the amount of light if you did not know about), and I don't want to become blind, so I used a filtering material to make the photos. This way only the sun and the moon is visible. A picture can be seen here.

Yesterday in IRC (#kde-devel) this happened: Oct 03 17:13:28 <isaac> http://www.wesnoth.org/start/1.0/ Oct 03 17:13:32 <isaac> we have just got wesnoth 1.0 out :) Oct 03 17:13:59 <Narishma> is there a klik package ? Oct 03 17:14:06 <misty> what is wesnoth? Oct 03 17:14:18 <Narishma> misty: a strategy game OK -- what Misty asked could have been my own question too. Now I know it -- 'cause I even run the game in the meanwhile. The reason was: the above chatter had a continuation. And looking at the backlog, you'll see just how easy and fast it is to build klik bundles from .deb packages that are compiled for Sarge: Read More

I have now extended a certain myscreen feature kde-wide... buzz ratings! Check the charts at http://myscreen.org/buzz As this is the first calculation, naturally the "change" indicator is flat - however, I will probably run the calculation once a day. Read More

I have been busy working on Datakiosk and am nearing a new release. I know many folks are a bit puzzled by this application, so to dispel the wonder I have cooked up a pretty cool demonstration of Datakiosk thanks to Klik. This new release will add some pretty significant new features. Read More

The weekend thusfar has turned out to be pretty productive. Sunshine, KMenu work, SVN access.. I got a lot done, and I still have a few more waking hours! This has been the first weekend in a few months I havnt had to travel or work, so I am enjoying every minute of it (and spending it WORKING anyway :) Read More

I finally got to Castelló after a 1 hour and 30 minutes delay waiting to get in to the plane at the airport. Tomorrow (Saturday) I'll give a KDE user talk at the iParty, at 16:00 . I initially plan to show some apps in depth (as well as some "tricks" or "hidden features" on some of them). I'll show konqueror, kontact (+kolab), kopete, amarok, digikam, kimdaba, klick, kstars (to show how to see the sun eclipse that will be seen in Spain next monday) ... is there any other application or some idea of what you think that should be shown?

A few days ago probono started blogging... and I didn't know or notice. Creative as he is, he called the thingie "klikblog"... ;-) If even I didn't know, how should the world at large? So let me quote in full his entry for today (hrmm... no, it was yesterday in our part of the world): "NewsForge asks to Send in the Skype clones, so here they are: Which do you like best, klik://skype, klik://gizmo, or klik://wengophone? Or do you prefer KDE’s klik://kphone? klik://kiax or klik://minisip maybe?" Read More

... they did it! Yesterday, the first "Restzeitampel" (remaining time traffic lights) was put into operation in Hamburg, Germany. Typically German, they outmatched the approach I described a few weeks ago by adding the hint "Green in [seconds]" . Strange enough, they write Green in red! Read More

For those that use KDE Automated Test Report located at http://kde.icefox.net/tests/, I have created a new script that generates a different report. It is a Ruby script, playground/base/kdetestscripts/create_module_reports.rb, that displays every file and the errors/warnings for that file on a per module basis (kdelibs, kdebase, etc). Read More
