... if freecell runs the rest is just fun. So our first mile stone in Qt4 porting was getting freecell up and running. From now on the rest are peanuts: Read More

Since I still can't get kde4/qt-copy to compile I decided to look at creating some new scripts for icefox's KDE Automated Test Report (http://www.icefox.net/kde/tests/report.html). I've found the tests to be an easy way to fix simple bugs. Anyway, I create emptykddebug, uniquekddebug and checksemicolons. You should see the first two in the morning run. The last script creates too many false positives as of yet. I also went through and added an empty line after each warning; this should help with the visual grouping. The scripts are in playground/base/kdetestscripts/ if anyone is interested... ;-) Read More

After the last round of hacking with Zack beginning of April where we speeded up the software fallback for image compositing in the X11 Render extension, I decided to take another round, this time at missing features in X11. Read More

Yes, it is going to happen soon. Very soon. OpenSolaris source code will become open. No, i can't tell you exactly when. :-) NDA and stuff ... Just stay tuned ... and keep reading my blog. :-D Read More

Here are some screenshots of KDE 3.4.1 running on Solaris 10 x86, built with SunStudio 10. This is going to by my next KDE release (along with the UltraSPARC build as well). Read More

Being a non-meat-eater in Norway is to say the least interesting. It's been a while since I've heard people say things like "oh, you don't eat meat? we got chicken", or "oh, don't worry, we got fish". I like moving. Change is always fun. I'm slowly learning Norwegian. I was really disappointed though because I missed the Salvador Dali exhibition that was in Philly. If you live somewhere near Philly and have seen it, let me know how was it. Read More

This weekend my father and my little brother came to visit me, so we decided to visit the Canadian National War Museum. It was a very interesting visit. It took us 3.5 hours to see everythings in the permanent exposition. Like every museum I visited, I noticed some "errors", not historical errors but more like technical errors, like the text didn't fit the size of the panel so it was cut by the next display case and sometimes the French text wasn't as accurate as the English one. But the most annoying thing was in nearly every display case the text had label 1) 2) 3) etc ... but the objects aren't labeled ... and since I'm not an expert on the german or allies gun used in WW2, I had to try to guess which gun (or object) goes with which description. Beside those little "details" it's a very very interesting museum Read More

After we decided to merge some improvements from KOrganizer/PI yesterday I finished to check-in the new timebar last night. It looks a lot better now than the old one, which basically only showed hour and seconds at the same font size. Those with 12 hour display will see an am/pm indicator instead of "00". In other news: Mosquitos really suck... my blood. It's really painful. Fortunately a drug store was open today, probably because this part of Holland is close to Belgium, where shops are also open on sundays. I could get some treatment for my stiches/bites, which caused me a fairly sleepless night. Read More
