The last couple of days [1] I've been working on bi-directional text in KWord. KOffice as a whole is aimed to be used worldwide, in all sorts of environments and it has to be usable for all sorts of scripts and languages. I'm proud to tell you that the todo list on getting that done is starting to be really really small. Read More

I have been working on providing Microsoft Exchange capability for Akonadi on-and-off for a while. It is coming together - I can suck messages off the server into akonadiconsole. More on that later (or as part of the commit-digest, perhaps). Read More

News here and here /me wide-eyed but neutral (still). I don't have a good knowledge of the internals of the CUPS community, but from my ignorant viewpoint, Michael Sweet had the largest hand in that code. It's now mostly up to the community. Which is a great one, for having produced the most dependable printing platform 0$ can buy. Read More

A (another) big thanks to the KDE sysadmin team for getting kdedevelopers.org back in business.

BIG RANT MODE Seens like air companies are really lost on this days. My luggage still not arrived, and neither companies, TAM and British Airways seens able to find what's happened. Read More

Rutger Claes, KDEPrint's GSoC student for the new UI design, published his report on today's most common forms of printing interfaces. He also offers the fruit of his analysis of how the main dialog should appear in KDE. Read More

Time, going fast with no way to be stopped, relentlessly going on and on over our existences... Ok ok, stopping the philosophy now ;) The fact is that my last blog entry is about 5 (!, yeah) months ago, and of course many things happened during these months. Read More

Gavin Beatty, GSoC student for the KDEPrint's online OpenPrinting drivers fetching and installation, provided his latest report today. It's refreshing to see enthusiasm and excitement from new young faces joining our community. It's perhaps this kind of effervescence that makes me eager to meet my students in class each autumn. Or to try to put some time in projects like GSoC. We need new energy. We need evolution. Read More

Afer a few months of really bad working atmosphere (see blogs.kde.org/node/2523) and some of legal stuff, I thought all of this was over until yesterday when the fruitcase called me to ask me to join his new venture, offer which I naturally refused. I just have to say he didn't liked this answer, I have a few recorded voicemails as proof of this :( Read More

It's quite long since I want to write about this: I used to use the audiocd: ioslave to rip my CDs. But since almost a year, I started to constantly use kAudioCreator. Nifty little tool! Does one thing and does it extremely well. Congrats Benjamin. Hope you keep this one up with KDE4. Read More
