KDE Blogs 

So I got bored late in December and decided to just write something that would be fun. So I started hacking on what became Impresario. Impresario started as a very simple window manager. Based on Qt4 it was supposed to be a very lightweight window manager that I could use while porting other parts of KDE to Qt4. Read More

What I find missing quite often is ability to take context specific notes. For example: when I'm reading some spec, html documentation or emails I often want to create a transparent box over something noting "this is important", "this is not true" or something along those lines, taking some personal notes as such when editing code, So "desktop composition" is something that an application author could put on top of any widget which could induce the above described behavior.

The SVG wallpaper contest is over. My favourite didn't win, I really liked KDE Celtic. Some people have queried whether KDE's SVG icon engine is ready for such use, and actually it probably isn't. It's too slow especially on intricate but beautiful designs such as Gear Flower. Read More

We can see an attempt to reuse mdbtoos by OpenOffice.org v. 2.0. Thanks to Martin Ellis' contribution we have recently more than nothing done (also by reusing mdbtools, not commited yet) in this department within Kexi too. Read More

It's seem that audio subsystem and application developer all want neat and advanced features and effect and it's good when you are able to play the song! I don't fucking care about fade in or fad out ... I just want to play my fuckings files!!!!! Can we have something simple that work 100% of the time? I think I will go buy an old P2 -400 put a big ass hardrive copy all my music over and install BeOS on it and use it to play my music because the currents linux offering SUCKS but REALLY SUCKS!!!

Lately I've been busy with many different projects, and deadlines are approaching. On the 2nd of February we enter full feature freeze and there are many things I "need" to have done by then. Too make things worse I go on ski-vacation on the 28th, and also have deadlines for my real (non-hobby) projects in February. Read More

Ok, this is just in: The town of vienna is migrating to Linux. Contrary to Munich, they are doing a "soft migration", which means they will only migrate 4.800 workplaces to Linux out of 7.500 which will be running OpenOffice.org independant of the OS. This is a lot more cost-efficient for them. They have no migration pressure, as their support contacts with Microsoft are running until 2010, yet they do want to migrate. Read More

Over Christmas I wrote a new recipients editor for the KMail composer: [image:808] The old one was really annoying because of two big problems: First, when having multiple recipients the line edit used for the To/CC/BCC fields wasn't really suitable because it only showed a part of them and when trying to get an overview about who gets the mail, you had to scroll around a lot with the cursor keys.

Yeah so I think this is some evidence as to why I don't have any friends ;) Read More
