KDE Blogs 

Good evening. Sometimes users file funny, far beyond the capabilities of KDE, or crazy wishes. And I don't talk about the "remove my neighbor country's flag" evergreen. And the nominees for "The Most Fancy User Request" award are: Read More

So, today wasn't very good day for me. First, I didn't manage to finish my project at work as expected today. I was asked to add few things to bind-dlz. Basically T-SIG database support. Anyway, I decided to cycle around Stanley Park. Stunning place BTW., just in the middle of road my rear tire was completely flat, as it turned out, small piece of glass made hole in my rear tube. Not only I wasn't able to chase back that nice girl I was talking to before, to ask her out, or just ask her for phone number, email, whatever. But also I had to walk my bicycle all the way downtown. 1.5h. One and the half hour, not wasted. I had a chance to look at the city from another perspective. At my life. This place is a paradise for me. If there is anything I would like now very much, is to be Canadian, and be able to stay here forever. Vancouver, BC is really really my dream place. Through out all these years, when I managed to get from someone not having anything, someone who never was anywhere, never tried anything in his life up to today, being in this gorgeous place, having very good job, being able to do so much. I can't imagine my life can be better. Now if only I will manage to stay here, settle down up here, have family, continue bussines up here life would be perfect. Yeah, one and the half hour all alone. One on One with me self. Read More

SCO's OpenServer 6 is released. Oh well, another few bits mocked up from linux kernel into OpenServer, who cares anyway, right ?. Well, there's one line in that announcement that should make us proud. They choose KDE. Quote: "SCO OpenServer 6 includes application support for powerful SCO UnixWare® applications, and provides the easy-to-use KDE® graphical interface.". Guys, in case you didn't noticed yet, it's GPL. GPL, the one that's illegal. The one that allowed all these bad terrorists to do bad stuff, etc.... Hypocrisy - at its best. Read More

KDE is growing. And I don't mean in the way programmes think; but we are receiving contributions from non programmers more and more. In the last year we have seen the artists sites grow tremendously, this interview on the dot proves again that more usability experts are stepping into the open source waters and with companies like Apple and Nokia seriously picking up, and working with technologies like KHTML that will only increase. Its baby steps, but watching this is very exciting! Read More

Kubuntu at LinuxTag in Germany today. Eagle eyed attenders may have seen Amu on the KDE stall handing out limited edition Kubuntu CDs. These have dragons on the cover so are assured to be cool. Read More

A few days ago, Kurt Pfeifle very kindly offered me the opportunity to test NX. I'm an old guy and I thoroughly dislike buzzwords, but sometimes it's simply no way around particular ones. The expression I'm itching to use here is disruptive technology. Read More

and no I'm not talking about M2/ARRRGGH, i'm talking about the last weekend. First I got some family members visiting me, and don't get me wrong, I like to have some guests around here, if they don't distrub my way of life too much ... and it was more or less the case this weekend anyway it's over and I will probably spent 3 or 4 days just to recover those 3 days ...and I really need to buy a new couch because the own I have is not comfy to sleep on it :( Read More

Setting up my Athlon64 mobile I realised why I should stick to software: hardware is frustrating, and I'm just not particularily good at it. Here is the short list of problems I've come up against getting all this to work. Read More

Aaron said in his blog: irony: too much water causing not enough water So I have another: Swiss cheese has holes The more cheese, the more holes The more holes, the less cheese Conclusion: the more cheese you have, the less cheese (!!) I know I had something important to talk about, but I forgot. Read More

Still trapped in Vancouver, BC. Since chasing girls did not bring any positve results, I decided to buy meself a guitar, and start to play again. I just purchased nice shiny Ibanez and Pod XT live (supported hardly by linux, but works fine on Mac). So, if Duncan going to attend meeting in malaga, and will have his guitar with him, expect some kopetallica ;] Read More
