KDE Blogs 

A powerful feature of the "Klax" Live-CD, inherited from its Slax and UnionFS base, are "modules": you can download a module like Gimp or Firefox and either load them into the running Live-CD on the fly or by adding them to the /modules/ directory on the CD (without the need to remaster the whole compressed file system) before burning the ISO image. Today I created KDE translation modules for 17 languages (chosen by amount of native speakers, share in Web content and KDE translation progress). I want to explain you how you can create within 3 minutes a Live-CD supporting your favorite languages. Read More

hi, kde 4 quick porting went on, people are working to get kdelibs in better shape, kdebase follows. Still lots of problems are around, as many layouting stuff is broken, ioslaves still have problems and so on, but at least you can see the progress ;) Read More

I know you all heared rumours about different numbers, but it prooved yesterday: 128 is the real magic number. OK, the story is much longer, but here is the summary: I just love cycling and trying to watch heros in action I browsed through the channels my DVB-S receiver gives me. Read More

Kurt has an interesting point on a common api for basic desktop usage, hidden under some stuff I basically agree with but don't think it's easy to solve: A minimal desktop API for applications that do not use DE libs directly. In fact, Matthias, Scott and me discussed a solution to a similar problem back in Nove Hrady. We were wondering how to enable the use of KDE widgets in Qt applications. Read More

After 7 years with my own (almost famous ;-)) build scripts and almost a year with kde-build, I switched today to kdesvn-build (many thanks, mpyne). It's definitely worth it, be it only for the colored output and for the progression notification. And ah!, I also switched to unsermake. Read More

I had another interview lately and I'm still wondering why they always those stupid question like "Where do you see you in 10 years?" I find answering this type of question very very difficult, because it's so easy to give a wrong answer, the person in front of you, can believe anything from the lack of ambition to anything on the other extreme (if such thing as too much ambition can exists) so I tried to say that with the way the job market and the world is changing that I can't say anything about where I see myself in 10 years because it's too uncertain, but on the positive side I might be able to watch all the Star Wars movies (including the clone war cartoons) in the right order :) But it seems that I answered wrongly once again :D Read More

In general I like the idea of the Open Directory Project (dmoz), a community-edited directory of the web. The part I feel most important about is of course its KDE category. In the past I submitted several times new URLs and reported broken/changed URL and duplicates. But not so often anymore and that's not only because of the lack of time (in main parts due to countless other KDE-related stuff I'm doing): I didn't experience the category editor as very responsive. His decision to also add single pages of listed sites leads to a mess and those are the ones who are likely very soon outdated (anyone still interested in KOffice 1.1.1 release notes?). And for the major kde.org sites and close partners we always had the KDE Family Websites list, for applications and themes related stuff now kde-apps.org and kde-look.org exist and several other stuff like Reviews and Screenshots can be found linked in the KDE Wiki.

Yes, it's already bad to be forced to own and run 16 different linux distros just so as to have one's application available for "linux". But it's even worse when there isn't an application at all. Read More

Last Friday (the 13th) was literally a black Friday for me. My car broke in the middle of my ride home and is broken beyond repair. Right on the freeway, involving a police car to protect me, my car and the ongoing traffic - the details would fill up two or three blog entries, but I'll spare you that stuff. So I'll get myself a BahnCard 50 now and try to be mobile by train. cough Read More
