My last blog outlining some of the upcoming klik2 goodness has attracted some rather surprising readers -- and even seems to have inspired some to do their own brainwork and come up with ideas how to implement the base paradigm of "1 application == 1 file" even more elegantly, and with less dependencies.

Like many other things, okular used the sidebar KPDF had, adding tabs with new stuff (like the Review pane and the Bookmarks panel). Now, the problem is that the implementation for these sidebars was all but a real solution. In the past, and especially yesterday, our usability expert Florian pointed me the issues of it. Read More

I'll show you the current mount table of my openSUSE notebook: 02:25 lnx5000:~ > mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda6 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) /dev/hdc on /media/InfoStream7.5.00 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8) fusecram on /tmp/app/4/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/5/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/6/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/7/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/8/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/9/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/10/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/11/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/12/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/13/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/14/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/15/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fusecram on /tmp/app/16/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/17/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/18/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/19/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/20/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) fuseiso on /tmp/app/21/mnt type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kurt) You wonder what these 21 mounts, using fusecram and fuseiso are? It's how my current testing environment of klik2 technology looks like. Read More

...or: Why has no consumer distro been providing updated packages for Ghostscript for more than a year? It's been more than a year that artofcode LLC and its lead developer, Raph Levien have revealed that bleeding egde Ghostscript will no longer be AFPL licensed, but will switch its Subversion-held development tree to the GPLv2 license.

Ok, 22 days after, the bag is back ! All stuff inside, no damage at all, just the bag itself with some scratches. Interesting thing in that clearly luggage was open and all things changed position, even things that was inside a necessaire, like a deodorant, was drop on bag, and necessaire was still closed :-) I will not complain about the scratches on the bag, i had enough stress about whole thing last weeks, i'm happy enough to have all things back with me. Case closed !!

My freshly installed kde4-okular package (grabbed from the openSUSE build service repository, using the 'smart' package management tool) seems to be without PDF support. It doesn't even display PDFs for selection in the FileOpen dialog. Cheating the filter line, by entering *.pdf makes the files show up -- but open they don't ("unsupported format"). Read More

Here it is, KDE 4.0 beta 1. Finally. I won't describe all the new features this beta comes with, as there are better people (random example) able to speak at least 10 times than what i would be able to do :-P Read More

Hi, I'm a Google Summer Of Code student and I'm working on creating a kresource to add support to add a journal and retrieve them from a blog. You can monitor my progress on the kresourrce in trunk/KDE/kdepim/kresources/blog/. Read More

The next version of KDE4 will run natively on Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista. This means that it is a very attractive platform for software development. No other cross-platform toolkit looks as good as Qt and has an equally appealing API. Read More

In the world of things completely unrelated to KDE... My life has been rather concentrated on music the last few months (including the various small-ish will-someday-be-released OSS things that I've been hacking on of late). One of the things that came up yesterday in a jam session was that based on the group's name, which contains a reference to Spanish, is that it would be fun to have a collection of samples for use in our set, with various voices in various languages saying: Read More
