One of the nicest applications I've found for the Nokia N810 is a single html page! TiddlyWiki consists of a page called 'empty.html' that you download and copy when you want to create a new Wiki. It works just like a traditional Wiki but is single user, and doesn't need a web server. The code for the Wiki is embedded within the page as JavaScript and CSS. Read More

So I have been working underground for a while on a web framework based on Qt but its gotten out of control and I need more help on it. The initial goal was to write a creole 1.0 compliant wiki based on Qt, but soon it grew into a full framework because of the lack of good C++ tools to do web development. Read More

8.10 beta is out. This is our big switch to KDE 4 so do test out the upgrade and let us know how it works. Read the announcement or go straight to the upgrade instructions. Read More

For those few of you interested (is there anyone?): I've started a new blog. If this one is any measure, it will be a pretty dead one, but I think it's the thought that counts =)

If you like to laugh then the Apple presents the iRack clip may something for you - always again impressing how close political reality and good jokes can be :)

A few weeks ago, I decided to write a small utility to help me with my work and also to relearn Qt. This small utility enable me to control the boot process, update the firmware of various devices I have at home and at work. Read More

Just watched a very clever advert for the new iphone. It's a manual, it shows you how to download (and buy) new apps. It's very short, just one feature User ends up having fun - playing game, and then call from a guy Interupting you in the middle of the game is presented as a feature! Slogan about this changing everything (not sure how it's supposed to do so) The advert seems well put together, but I wonder if we couldn't create something similar regarding KDE features? Read More

Ever since Maksim Orlovich released benchmarks of its excellent FrostByte flavour of the KJS engine, I've been curious to perform a synthetic benchmark of KHTML/KJS, to see what our whole stack is up to. Read More

The first Maemo Summit was held in Berlin on the 19th and 20th of September. Nokia proposed to organise a "Desktop Search Hackfest" in collaboration with the GNOME foundation. This proposal was forwarded to all the participants in the discussions on a set of common standards for desktop search called Xesam. The list of attendees was very interesting and I had the impression that it would be hard to get the same group of people together soon. So I decided to skip a family day at my employer, PANalytical, and went to the hackfest. Read More

As I pointed out recently, I only develop KDE in a virtual machine. It does not only enable me to rollback changes that screwed up something, it also allows me to go back to a verbatim snapshot where I can e.g. be sure that there are no mysterious plugins installed to directories that I have not thought of. I also pointed out that compiling in a virtual machine is slower, because you cannot use more than 2 processor cores per virtual machine. No problem! Use coolo's icecream and build up a compile cluster as described on http://en.opensuse.org/Icecream. I have done it and at the moment my fans are roaring and compiling the KDE for my virtual machine.
