After I tried to discover what's behind Konquerors new shiny Introduction page, I discovered a feature that I want to share: Konqueror now knows the metaphor of WebFolders, similar to Windows, but actually supporting more protocols. (Warning: Flash movie ahead :)) Read More

It's getting colder. KDE CVS now is in deep freeze for 3.4 beta 2. All messages are frozen so that translators can start to strive for the perfect translation in 79 languages. The day before the freeze saw some frantic activity of people to complete their last-minute feature or to sneak in the messages required for fixing certain bugs. On the kdepim front we got a new Kontact welcome screen and were able to break compilation because of our wicked intra-module dependencies. Read More

My notebook was returned from the repair-shop on thursday. On Friday it locked up hard again. Exact same symptoms as before. I know I shouldn't let a mere computer get me down, but I depend on this thing for finishing university. I haven't the money with which to buy a new one. I don't know how long I can use borrowed hardware. Read More

Today was string freeze day for KDE, over 500 commits were made and lots of people were desperatly trying to make the deadline for i18n(). I was struck down with a cold and couldn't manage much but did add some bits to Kontact's new about screen. Read More

[image:837,right] Today, I finished two the new intro screen that was fairly overdue already. It's meant to look fancy and be useful (to a certain extend at least ;) In other news I finally committed the new exchange wizard with hopefully all relevant strings. I'll be working on it tomorrow to make sure to have something working for the final release. Right now it simply does nothing, so noone is gets hurt, just a bit disappointed maybe. Read More

KexiDB is a database API that abstracts over the specifics of individual database backends. Following article is just to allow you to make a choice... http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/index.php?KexiDB versus QtSQL (KexiDB) vs (QtSQL 4)

Shiney new about:konqueror in CVS today. KControl also updated. Expect the docs to be updated soon too. Is there a right-to-left script user out there who can tell me if this works properly on right-to-left? Read More

I remember back in the KDE 2 betas trying to find an editor that would handle the KDE desktop files. They where simple ini files, but I could never remember all the stupid little details of how the damn things worked. So invariably I would find one, copy it, and dork with it until it did something similar to what I wanted. Read More

After reading bug 97769 and the bottom part of http://musics.com . I must conclude that the emperor really needs his medication. But to be fair I need to analyse part of his ranting because his logic his FLAWED . First of all, it's true that a lot of KDE developer are Europeans, but some are from North America, I'm myself a French Canadian, and a lot the others north americans are from the USA. Second point: "We feed our hungry, tend to our sick, provide help to those in need. " nice quote but since when the USA have a social system like Canada or Europe? I'm asking this question because I'm really intrigued ... But the part of his ranting that made me uneasy is this one, and I hope I will not start a flamewar, "God, on the other hand, chose the humblest of peoples and the meek to rule the world, and it is the Americans who are humble, meek, and the nicest people in the world." By reading his comments, this one is a lie, or if God truely choose him (I'm not talk about the others) I wonders what he drank and smoked that day. But since I'm proud of being an Atheist, I can't really understand the need of some intelligent and educated people, to use this old and archaic concept to justify the fact that he's a bully but since he got God approval, it's correct to spread hate and stupidity

It's cold. Fortunately I rediscovered my tiger boots.
