KDE Blogs 

This was simply horrible, spent all my time doing saving the ass of "certified" IT peoples ... so I didn't have anytime to work on M.2, or when I got some I was drunk so the code quality probably improved a little :) Read More

1. Purchasing a new Laptop... So, this weekend is Massachusetts tax free holiday and I'm thinking of using the occasion to purchase a new laptop. I was wondering if anyone out there in KDE land had experience with the ThinkPad T43 1871? I can currently get this laptop at discount through a friend for $1,274.00. Is it a good deal? Should I get something else? Anyone have a strong opinion one way or another? Read More

this blog is to make ktech on #kde-devel happy :) currently busy eating my lunch ... yes it's another can of sardines (it's only think me and my cat can agree on) and a ramen noodles pack .... Read More

I've found this gem while searching for some old contributors to KDE: Enjoy www.kde.org in 1998: http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/linux/www.kde.org/. See specially this announcement.

It's nice to see the amount of people on Planet KDE rapidly growing, indicating a thriving KDE developer community. :-) Let me point out two special tags which some blog newbies don't seem to be aware off: Read More

As time goes by KDE distributors come and go. It seems in the meantime I'm one of the more long-time contributors, I got my cvs account late 1999 I think (with low but quite constant activity...). Thanks go to David Faure, without him I probably wouldn't be around here today ! :-) Read More

KDE 3.5 Alpha source tarballs are up on the FTP servers. It's really Alpha quality so you don't will see a big announcement splash for it. One day before tagging KMail got completely messed up. When it was tagged two modules didn't compile at all. Several modules don't compile with --enable-final, Coolo ultimately gave up on fixing it. This week there were problems with the bandwidth of a server feeding the FTP mirrors so enough reasons for the long delay already. openSUSE going live with SUSE 10.0 Beta and people watching reactions for sure didn't speed things up either.

Yes, I'm in SF now. Since yesterday. Which was day zero. Here is how it went: 4h00 - After 4h of sleep (at the end of a hectic week with only 5h sleep/night), I leave Quebec towards Montreal to get the plane from there. The plane was at 9h10. The ride is a 2h30 one. Usually. Read More

Here is the story of my day 1 at LWE-SF. The morning: Finally, the important part of my trip here is starting. Immediately after the breakfast, we meet all (Till Kamppeter, Kurt Pfeifle, Uli Wehner, Patrick Powell, David Suffield, George Liu, and me) at the booth for the latest preparations. Read More

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 ...
