KDE Blogs 

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 : Read More

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.

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. Read More

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 ;) ) Read More

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. Read More

Well, i think i should make a bit more order, here... Updated: link was broken, and now i also have a better image..

I gave today the presentation I prepared for the last few weeks for a work-related international conference. I'm pleased with how things went. Tomorrow the conference ends. From then on, I'll go in 6th gear on preparing for the trip to San Francisco LinuxWorld Expo. I will go there thanks to the very generous people at Ricoh. Read More

As usual we can't get a day without any "attacks" from troll about how KDE suck and how GNOME is the one true desktop. Some people are pleading for more interoperability between the 2 projects, which might be good that will depend if both projects are free to choose how they do it. If one is forcing its technologies to the other then this is WRONG. Read More

Congratulations to Novell for deciding, according to several reports, to open the development process for SUSE Linux as "OpenSUSE". Also for planning to spread it as widely as possible while keeping the boxed retail version with manuals/support. Looking forward to next week to play with a public SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta. Reading the comments about it the "criticising but uninformed" user type caught my eye again: those guys who once tried something or picked up an argument which is out-dated today but keep posting it because they are experts. In the case of KDE we know the "not based on Free Software licensed library", "KDE is slow" etc. people. In case of SUSE people state it would not be Open Source or Free Software (referring to YaST, it's GPL since last year) or not freely available for download (FTP installations exist for years) or as ISO images (also not true for last releases) or no single community support or package site would exist. Lord, give them some clue! Read More

So yesterday I finally switched the make_kget_cool to qt4 and some hours ago I finished to compile and install kde4. Wow! That wasn't hard as I thought. I started my work on a new sidebar that in the future will show nice animations effects when downloading files. Read More
