amarok podcasting rocks, but it's not only big in .nl, Fab! Deutschlandfunk (Cologne) and Deutschlandradio Kultur (Berlin) are two german nationwide broadcasters that deliver lots of informational content. Both recently introduced podcasting for some of their shows. On their page about podcasts, they introduce podcast reception with iTunes AND amarok. Go for it! Read More

I've now prepared 2 klik-able kdeedu packages. I compiled with "--enable-debug=full". One of the packages is stripped to save space and bandwidth. However, I recommend you to run the one with debug symbols included. This way a meaningful backtrace or konsole output is possible: Read More

The klik-enabled kdeedu-3.5 packages compiled from today's Subversion checkout are now up for download. (We do not offer yet a working klik://kdeedu link, though). They have passed some initial testing on SUSE-9.3 (with KDE-3.4.2), SUSE-10.0 and Kanotix 2005-03-DVD. They should be working fine on all KDE 3.4 systems. The package uses a $KDEHOME of $HOME/.kdeklik so it does not interfere with your standard $KDEHOME. It builds its own $KDESYCOCA, so startup needs some time. Let me know of any additional systems it works on (I am currently learning how to prepare this -- I need your feedback), as well as the exact error messages that pop up. Read More

So, by writing now I am keeping my last promise that my next entry would be about the project that I have been working on. However, maybe I should have written earlier than exactly 2 months later. Read More

Every time a new KimDaBa user shows up, I hear the same sentence over and over again: This is exactly the software I need, I just wish I had found it a long time ago. Read More

KDE 3.5 Beta 1 packages for SUSE distributions versions 9.1 to 10.0 are available. These packages are unsupported and completely untested. We are nevertheless interested in package related bug reports over at openSUSE because KDE 3.5 Beta will be also the desktop of SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha 1 which will be published next week. A few packages like kdemultimedia, kdenetwork and the translations are still missing but will be added once they are built. Read More

Time to reveal a few more of the little tricks around klik... This time it is "How do I fix a klik AppDir bundle if it does not work the way I want it to work?" Read More

Huzzah! (would friend Aaron say), klik.atekon.de is again found by DNS. kliktestbox:~> nslookup klik.atekon.de Server: 195.20.224.234 Address: 195.20.224.234#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: klik.atekon.de Address: 134.169.172.48 That's since about 30 minutes ago. Hopefully it stays like that. After all, there wasn't any problem since the server went online, more than a year ago. Read More

Ariya sent an email to the KOffice list today passing along this link to an interview with the program lead for MS Office 12's new UI. All I can say is WOW. This is stunning stuff. A colossal change and, IMO, a great one. They have taken an incredibly complex app and eliminated all of the menu's without eliminating the functionality. They've also made it so that none of the functionality is hidden. Read More

I've quite often thought of getting my own webspace. But what next? cms, blog or wiki? which software to use? what fits my purpose? Bjoern yesterday pointed this site to me: Read More
