svn is slow. Ever tried svn commit or cleanup over trunk KDE ? I started a commit, pressed Ctrl-C to cancel it. It didn't cancel within maybe half a minute. I killed it with -9. Then I tried update, but it told me that it was locked and I should do a cleanup. So I did a cleanup. It took approx. 5 minutes :-/ Now I'm updating again... Read More

I've just added another section to an example-based tutorial I've been working on. The tutorial aims to describe what you need to know to be able to write unit tests for Qt and KDE, using the QTestLib test framework. Read More

Couples ( actually way more than couples ) of Caipirinhas, beer, and here we go... Aaron Seigo play for the masses.. Many thanks our fellow XSun for the picture

Well, I'm impressed... cmake-2.4 and kdelibs4_ss actually compile and works (and doesn't seg. fault). Grats to the hard working people on kde-buildsystem. Systems: x86 and sparc... 'make -j6' is a joy to watch... :-) Read More

This week has been interesting, to say the least. Monday was an official holiday in the Netherlands (called "2nd Easter Day") which I used to extend the break from work and KDE that I took last weekend. Read More

Linux.com today published my article "Moving to PDF as a future print job spooling format". It's already generating some feedback.... Currently I'm writing down some more notes which may eventually crystalize into a series of articles. Each one will deal with one of the topics I outlined in my last blog entry. Not sure were I'll publish all of these; probably also here (I can't imagine there is a Linux-leaning news site out there that would run a series of boring printing articles over 4-6 weeks).

I decided to change the post title when I looked at the Planet and saw that Matthias's post about the Berlin office is right up there at the top. So, my news for the day, is...wait for it...yep, I'm moving to Berlin. And no, not to work for Trolltech -- though Rich joked that I seem to be the only KDE person switching jobs and not going there. I'll be leaving the SAP LinuxLab, after almost four years, at the end of June to work for a pro-audio software company in Berlin. In a meeting today I announced the news to the rest of the LinuxLab (previously only my manager had known) so I can finally mention it publicly, though I made the decision a few months back.

LWN published a writeup of first two days of the Linux Printing Summit in Atlanta, most excellently written by our own Kurt Pfeiffle. A great collection of information complementary to his previous blog entry. Thanks Kurt! Read More

"I was told by Perez, who was in Mallorca, and there the hapiness never ends during night and day", that's what an old spanish song says :) , and I had the opportunity to confirm it during last weekend (7th, 8th and 9th) when I went to Mallorca invited to give a talk at Bulma's 3rd free software conference. Bulma is one of the most important LUGs in Spain (if not the most) Read More

This is a photo of a safety guide I found in my plane from Madrid to Málaga last Sunday: [image:1940 size=preview] I don't know how others read that, but what I read is that Iberia recommends "for your safety" not to use Windows ;-).
