KOffice Textlayout
Wednesday, 16 August 2006
KWord will get a new textengine in version 2.0, it will be based on Qt4s scribe engine. And I've been working on this for the last week. Scribe gives me the ability to implement just the actual sizing and positioning of lines. Which means a minimum of code needed to do cool things. I like that.

Wednesday, 16 August 2006
I've made a Qt 4 client to Ubuntu's Hardware Database which lets you anonymously submit details of your machine. You can then attach your given ID to any bug reports and the data is also collected into interesting statistics for the Ubuntu distributions to find out about our user's hardware.

Linux Magazine Story About Kerry Beagle Online
Tuesday, 15 August 2006
Linux Magazine informed me that they put parts of their September 2006 issue online including a PDF copy of the "KTools: Beagle Helpers - Kerry and KBeaglebar" story. It's about the 0.1 version of Kerry though. The Kerry development paused a bit after the 0.2 Beta but I plan to continue it again after Kickoff (to be included in openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 4) is now being close to be a good looking, usable and sophisticated start menu - also thanks to previous work done for KBeagleBar and Kerry.
Trolltech Greenphone Lust
Tuesday, 15 August 2006
I've just read about the forthcoming Greenphone with a Qtopia development kit. If I can port Qt4 QtRuby to it, I want one right now! I could hack together custom apps to access web services like google via GPRS. It has 64 Mb of RAM and 128 Mb of flash, with expansion slot which sounds as though it should be enough to fit a QtRuby development environment. Does it take standard sims, or can you only use it with certain service providers?
