the long walk

last week one of my hard disk decided that life wasn't worth living anymore and died ... I know this bad enough but since it was the boot drive of one of my server it's was even worse that bad ... so after getting a new, I was wondering if I was reinstalling gentoo (nice distro but lately I had so much packages to update that I was kind of scared by the amount of time required to fix this) so I decided to install SuSE 9.3 ( and with the use of xen I will be able to test M.2 on a variety of distro yay!) so while I was at this I also decided to install suse 9.3 on 2 older computers (P200MMX). Yesterday I decided to give mandriva 2005LE PPC a try on my ibook, I'm still compiling kde 3.5 so I can have something uptodate and I also installed OpenSuSE 10.0 Beta 1 and I'm impressed ( that one was hard to do because I had to backup the reiser4 drive since it seems the installer doesn't support it :( ) so now I can use Xen on 3 computer so i will be able to had a lot of interesting thing to M.2 ...

Multiple reminders in korganizer
Actually, today I wanted to do some serious bug fixing and reduce the number of items on my to-do list, but then I didn't get beyond one of them: Multiple reminders in KOrganizer. Actually, like so many other features, multiple reminders were already supported by libkcal as well as by korgac (the reminder daemon), it was just the GUI component that was missing. I added that today, so it's now possible to have :

Propaganda
Today was a nice day. I ran around for a good part of it for the last items I'll have to bring with me to LWE-SF. I spent some quiet time with my family. And in the evening the parents of our god-daughter invited us over for one of their quite regular BBQs. There I met a few old friends and also friends of our friends. People that I met for the first time. A very nice family, him - Francois - francophone quebec-er, her - Deidre - anglophone of distant russian-germans origin (from the old Volga communities of early 1900) and their little energetic daughter, the close friend of our god-daughter.

Ready for the Challenge? JJs for KOrganizer!
As I wrote in my last blog, my to-do list for KOrganizer keeps growing and growing (sure, I implement / fix lots of stuff, but it seems that its still a long way to make KOrganizer perfect). So, I thought, I bet there are a bunch of interested guys and gals out there who were always interested in kdepim development, but never really dared to take on some open issue.

Last friday I decided to go to a pub, like I do every thursday and friday night with some friends, since I work home all the time, it a good occasion to see living being with a little more conversation than "Meoooow? MEEEEOOOWW" (Sorry but I can't translate it ... you will think my cat is not properly raised ;) )

Kurt's series on NX
The third part of Kurt Pfeifle's NX series in Linux Journal just hit the web. It is a very instructive piece of writing. It provides rich information about motivations, history, technology and utilisation of NX/FreeNX. It is very nicely written, reads in a rapid pace and uses a crisp clear and well balanced language. Make sure you look through it. You might even want to put it in your bookmarks collection, as it's a valuable resource.
