KDE Blogs 

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

Ayın Uygulaması Apparently we can't have short blogs on http://www.kdedevelopers.org...

Last month I've "stolen" code from KSpread's CSV import dialog, and now it's tweaked quite much: support for setting primary key (including autodetection) support for 'first row contains column names' flag (including autodetection) column types are autodetected Import is performed to a new table, within a single transaction, and (what's usual for Kexi) in a database-engine independent way, thanks to KexiDB layer. As an extension of above, support for pasting clipboard contents will be added. Read More

Do you know the feeling when your job just isn't fun because you have to come to work every day and hack at features you don't like or don't need or both? I DON'T! Read More

Living rooms are overrated. My next apartment is so going to have a studio / computer / theater room instead. My living room gets little use other than having hosted about half a dozen KDE folks for various lengths of time. But my bedroom is getting overcrowded. Read More

The last weeks have been amazing, this is the only word I can use to describe what happened in kdom/ksvg2/kcanvas development. KCanvas has been rewritten some weeks ago to go back from the old chunk-based rerendering algorithms to a new strategy, using z-ordered trees (well read the source :-) - it turned out to perform much faster, especially when panning/zoominf, it also simpified internal KCanvas code a lot, and yes it's much more OOP.

With our project OpenUsability, we (1) will provide a booth at the LinuxTag in Karlsruhe/Germany, June 22. to 25. As usability people, it is our mission to make things more usable and to put a smile on each (inter)face. Therefore, we are also planning to make the LinuxTag a 'better place': On our booth, we will have sofas, free coffee, tea, and other drinks, possibly some relaxing music.... :) Read More

Some progress has been made on the Qt 4 front this week. I've implemented a simple QHttp based version of XMLHttpRequest that will ultimately be bound to KJSEmbed/Qt4. This will mean that the scripts will be able to access web based XML services such as news feeds, weather reports etc. I've now also got a working build environment to begin helping with the kdelibs porting effort. A couple of hints for getting Qt 4 working with the KDE 4 branch: Read More
