KDE Blogs 

Need a funny start for this week? Try Microsoft tries to recruit me by Eric S. Raymond.

Ok, that was a lie, no cowbells ;) Getting tired of the primitive example application I had for QDS I deciced to create a better one, including a GUI one can take screenshots of :) Read More

Some of you may have first heard of this at aKademy. Jan and I are conducting a simple survey of developers in order to get a better idea of your development style and how we can make the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) better and more attractive for you to use. Read More

Free software development is all about feedback. Feedback from other developers, non-coder contributors to the project, your packagers and your users. Sometimes you get very few feedback, which could either mean you are not reaching anyone or everyone is so satisfied with the projects current state. Read More

I managed to get a lot of work done today, but not the kind I was aiming for. Things are still insane here at my job in DC so instead of the KDE Usability work I was planning on getting done (sorry Jan, maybe Monday) I get to deal with more crap updates and fight the battles which were usually reserved for the middle of the week (FYI: Just because it VALIDATES for §508 Accessibility it does not mean it is accessible!).

One of the things I'd hoped to do at aKademy was to get some discussion going about using QCA in Qt4. Unfortunately I had a cold, and spent much too much time sleeping and feeling unmotivated instead. So I thought I'd try to kick off some discussion about it now. I'm also going to post this to kde-core-devel, and that is where the discussion should take place. Read More

First, it was just for shits and giggles folks. Don't take it so seriously ;) That said, quite a few folks wonder why I set 'restrict=linux' and not 'restrict=kde' or some such thing. Well, the answer is quite simple... If you'd click through to the parameters explanation link that I posted in the methodology section you'd see that Google has only four topic restrictions: US Government, Linux, Macintosh and FreeBSD ;) There is no KDE restriction.

This week has been quite tiring. First, my boss didn't allow me to take Monday as a personal free day in order to clear up the things we left from the akademy at the university. The Monday started with a couple of "pressure" meetings with by boss (just him and me) explaining me why I should work harder than ever and blah blah. So I've only been able to clear up things from the akademy after work, on afternoon/evenings. Read More

I left Malaga last friday, so I missed the beach party :( The reason why I didn't blog before is because between the 02/09 and the 06/09 I didn't have any net access because I was in Switzerland to see my mother and some friends. I must say I had a lot of fun there, especialy at the vinea ( www.vinea.ch ) where I paid 30 CHF ( I let you make the conversions ) to spend a complete day sampling swiss wine ... I discovered a lot of wonderfull wine there too bad they didn't have a big enough production to export some of them to Canada :( Read More

I was playing with googlefight today when it occurred to me to run a few KDE names through the gauntlet... Amused, I decided to use Google's web API to run the list of kde-ev member names and produce the first KDE-Google-Fight-Royal-Rumble :=) Read More
