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.

I'm still able to meet hot and sexy women ... it's just that they're cough married /cough well maybe one day I will finaly meet one and that will work

And in even worse news, I'm finding it difficult to do real work and any KDE hacking. I've done a bit of QCA work, but there is still a long way to go, and wasted half of Sunday trying to figure out a weird problem in KMail, but that is about all.

I enjoyed reading the answers to the question "What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?" here. My favourite was by Alun Anderson, Editor-in-Chief New Scientist. His topic was how he thought insects were conscious.. Read More

As some might know, KBattleship was Niko and my first application in KDE CVS. Today, I saw some commits to it again. It's unbelieveable that people kept working on it, even added new features like the DNS-SD support that was recently checked in. I was looking at the code and felt totally embaressed - ill-named classes, heavy pointer abuse, unused layouts, lack of appropriate data structures, just to name a few of our sins. So I want and fired up vim. Read More

The other week I wrote about the 'Object Inspector' features of the KDevelop Ruby Debugger that make use of the various sort of Qt runtime metadata and show it in the debugger's Variable Tree. I thought it would be nice to have something similar for debgging C++ programs. Read More
