KDE Blogs 

Well, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to tell much of what I'm doing. I've given 5 KDE talks in 2 weeks (3 one week, 2 at the next weekend). One in Tenerife at the Summer Courses of the "Universidad de Verano de Adeje", two at the Campus Party (in Valencia) and another 2 at Mollina, Málaga, into the second technological days of Free Software in Andalucia. I've met many people (some old good friends, some new friends), and everyone was great. Read More

Last week, I came across a user survey on blog clients. The aim of the study is to identify and understand the users' goals and tasks, tools and features they currently use for blogging as well as problems and changes they would like to see in their clients. The special thing about it: The developers ask all these questions before actually starting to program, namely in the planning phase. The project I am talking about has just registered on OpenUsability, the desktop and handheld blogging software "Expressions" (OSS, of course). Read More

Introducing: KExtProcess Those who have tracked my KDE commits this year will have noticed that most of them went to KExtProcess, my pet Swiss Army Knife for anyone who writes code that calls external applications. Read More

Took the last exam of my studies at long last. :-) Received a KDE-related job offer and accepted it. :-) Booked my flights for Akademy. :-) Unfortunately I will not be able to attend whole Akademy but have to depart on the evening of the last conference day because my work, more on that later, starts on 1st September. So I will miss one or two talk slots (not so important as Fluendo will likely stream/record them), the coding marathon week with all its BoFs (pretty please write summaries for all who cannot attend!), the common city tour and maybe the GPG keysigning party depending on when it will happen. :-( Read More

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
