I took the test and those are my results: Your Linguistic Profile: 50% General American English 25% Yankee 20% Dixie 0% Midwestern 0% Upper Midwestern What Kind of American English Do You Speak? I'm really curious how our british folks can master this, or if they simply feel insulted ;) (Hey folks, I seem to speak 5% non-american english, must be Denglisch... )

So you send the new code for a dcop slot to the server, it evaluates it, and you can then invoke the new slot. Read More

This evening I went along to a Mac developers meeting. We were invited to sit in a circle and introduce ourselves one by one. "Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm a Linux geek and open source hacker. I don't use macs." Read More

When thinking about a future configuration system it's nice to have an idea about current usage patterns. So I did some measurements to see how many different configuration keys KDE applications look up when starting up. Some results: Read More
