KDE Blogs 

I've been working on these articles for KJSEmbed and have loved the response I've gotten so far. We have generated new interest in the project and gained a few followers... Read More

Well, I'm all set for the UK expo now. Hopefully I'll see some of you there. I'm only going to be around on the second day, but the booth will be manned on both. See you there! Read More

during the day i had the opportunity to chat with several interesting people. i talked briefly with a fellow who works on Mono for Ximian, which was interesting and productive. i had drinks with a couple of people from Real Media's Helix project, which was quite productive. i think there is some potential for good things to come out of that project if they manage to work out how to work with the community, which is no small feat. we talked about Open Source Q&A, working with the various Free Software projects, etc. good stuff. the sake helped fuel the conversation well past my exhaustion point ;-) Read More

bad news, i got distracted. good news [image:424]. oh yeah rich i also enabled the layout code in kjsembed and it even works. i needed to fix it so i could have nice tiles on my game without fighting with QCanvas bindings just yet.... Read More

second presentation went without a hitch. figured it would be lightly attended due to being at noon (lunch!). but the room was full. very good. it was well received and i'm looking for the energy to do my third pressie on kde development. having fun answering question and mixing with the people here. =) Read More

first presentation done, muscled through some technical difficulties with the projector. i hate hardware. the audience was enthusiastic and it was well received. did another round of the (small) booth area. if the people here are any indication, Linux is still in its infancy adoptionwise here but has a great group of enthusiastic and knowledgable people pushing it forward.

after 17 hours on the road i'm finally here. we only got lost once (losing ~40 minutes =/ ), which isn't too bad really. even the border crossing was uneventful. the drive was gorgeous: mountains, trees, beautiful little towns. i love the Pacific Northwest. Read More

so here's the plan... i'm going to go to sleep right now (it 2:30am...) and get up tomorrow, er, today (at 7:00am) and head out to LinuxFest Northwest. if it all works out, i'll have a bunch of fun and inspire some people w/regards to KDE... i'll keep a running diary of the events here whenever i can get 'net access along the way (i'm driving there and back.. ~12 hours on the road each way.. road trips ROCK! =) this way i can keep my friends and interested folk up to date with my KDE weekend adventure, in case anyone cares. well, i know i do. =P Read More

my words have gotten me into trouble (some would say, "again"). apparently some people are truly offended because of the content of my blog. i can't rectify that now, nor can i fix other people's way of approaching the Universe. all the same, i don't want my personal thoughts to cast a pall of negative consequences upon KDE or any other Free Software project; so this will be my last blog entry on kdevelopers.org. i'll leave with some quotes that i found online while looking for some external wisdom on things. some i feel apply to me or to this situation. some are just interesting, or even funny. enjoy.

While compiling KDE once again I found some time to work a little bit on icecream and revived Frerichs star view. This is a cool thingy, especially when there are many hosts, where the 'gantt' view reaches its limits. Have a look by yourself and enjoy the hypnotic effect of looking at colored bubbles. You will perceive compilation as faster than ever before ;-) Read More
