In case you use Icecream (the distributed compile system which makes your coworkers' machines compile KDE for you :)) and happen to be using a glibc >= 2.11.2, you might notice that you are not able to send compilation jobs to other machines while still being visible to the scheduler and receiving jobs from other hosts.

Coming live from Akademy over IRC later today (Finnish today anyway) is Kubuntu Tutorials Day. Alan Alpert from Nokia will teach you about Qt Quick and QML. You will need to download and install Qt Creator binaries before the tutorial. Qt Creator from the archive is not new enough. Read More

Proposed by chrome developers - two entries and submenu are removed. Reduces mouse clicks and movements.                                                                      

Do you remember the tabbed toolbar thing that was once born in Kexi? It's an attempt to optimize the UI when collection of actions depends on context. This part of development goes well, even while there is no framework for use by other KDE 4 apps. Those still use the KDE 3 technology, i.e. KXMLGUI leading to rather big menus. Read More

Hi guys, Maybe it's a bit late to talk about what I did last week, but anyway : After fixing some bugs in the transformation tool, I decided to add the possibility for the user to change the center of rotation. It was a bit tricky, because I wanted to express this rotation (around the current center) as a composition of a rotation around the original center of the selection and a translation (which is possible). Consequently, a succession of rotations around different center can be reduced to only 1 rotation around the original center and 1 translation. I used complex numbers for the calculation (quite convenient for 2D transformations), and I was pleased to see that complex numbers were standard C++ objects. Read More
