OK... So I have managed to install KDE on qt-copy these days... now going back to development... I am figuring, that xmame has some really weird and funky options, like -norotate isn't exactly the same as rotation switch disabled, and -nothrottle isn't the same as throttle switch disabled... Weird... Ok... So I have deactivated the -[no]command switches and now it should work better... Specially in the advanced mode... Read More

Hmm, I'm not sure how twisted this is, but I want to do something other than hack irc for a few days. At work everyone is on ICQ, so I run sim to talk to them. But I've never liked the way IM apps run, what was wrong with IRC?!? Read More

Ugh, another bugfix rejected. This one affects at least KAlarm, JuK, KGPG, KGet and Kopete. Bug was acknowledged; patch acknowledged; won't fix before 3.3 (probably more than a year and no help for KDE 3.2). Read More

Update on bugs.kde.org: The new script old-bugs-statistics is now up and running. It includes links to "bug lists" containing all the possibly outdated reports, making the former "Idle Reports Search" on the front page redundant. I consequently removed it and cleaned up the front page a little. I'm pretty sure that old-bugs-statistics combined with weekly-bug-summary and all their included links fulfil most (useful) statistic and bug hunting needs. If not let me know.

Well, I still have no time to hack on KDE, (well, Kopete to be more specific) but that's ok since I just made a nice breakthrough with my algorithms project that's due on Monday night (6pm). I was having problems getting Kruskal's down from O(n2 log n) to O(n log n), but i figured it out so I'm happy now. Now if I could only find a graph generator. :) Read More

Why I accepted this contract!!!!!! spent 3 weeks debugging this crappy rs232 protocol ........ and my cat now know all the french canadian swear .... bah! It will end soon and I will be able to do some fun stuff ... well I hope. Read More

Finally! With a bit of hacking and borrowing from the new libxmpp code, the Kopete Jabber plugin is now able to properly encrypt messages and can thus talk with Psi and other Jabber clients in a secure way. Read More

What fun! What glory! I have a birthday today. So, work is interesting. I get to set up a PII 400 machine, for use as a server. FreeBSD 4.8 is the OS of choice (I just like FreeBSD on my servers, and I don't know why.) Read More

I'm giving a talk next week at the Linux 2003 conference in Edinburgh about UML Modelling with Umbrello. Since I'm not too sure what to say I'm writing notes here in the hope that I'll be struck by inspiration and maybe some useful comments. Read More

Tim Jansen has committed the new look for KOrganizer's agenda view (Screenshot). This is a big improvement. People were complaining from time to time about the "boring" look of KOrganizer. Now they don't have a reason for that anymore (Well, I'm sure somebody will come up with another reason to complain ;-). Now I just have to unbreak libkcal. Seems like my 200k patch from yesterday broke recurring events...
