planetsuse.org is now syndicating my blog. Thanks James, for taking my feed to your part of our world. -- Hello, fellow planetSUSE bloggers :) Maybe it was this rather interesting bug that helped proof that I have somehow some relationship with the Green Geeko Distro. Read More

This nifty mail notification utility has popped up at KDE-apps.org now! Kudos to Kurt Granroth for maintaining this cool piece of software!

Wow! I'm glad I'm not in Calgary tonight, or Aaron might have come down to my place and beat me up ;-) ) Anyways I will refrain from wielding back at him my (past century) sarcasm and irony weaponry. Read More

Oh boy. Gwenview uses 83% more memory than Kuickshow (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9847 - the last comment as of now). BTW I especially like the "83%" part - it's just one case and the measurement is imprecise, but it can't be "about 80%" or "almost double". Reminds me of all those "hair 74% stronger" ads. Anyway.

I took me more than a week to be back on the right timezone, process all the emails,voicemails from various persons, and I'm still not fully 100% operational, but I'm getting there ( I hope). And while I was processing all this "stuff" I realised that I wanted to write something, and this something doesn't mean it's a piece of software, it can be anything. Since I'm notin top shape yet, I have no clue of what this something can be ... maybe I will take 2 asperines and go to sleep tonight and I will have forgotten this .... or maybe not

How can KDE developers find ways to make binary packages of bleeding-edge code directly available to be run by usability experts for early feedback? And if you are less interested in cooperating with usability people (like mornfall ;-P ), you may still ask yourself: How can KDE developers make their bleeding-edge packages available to beta-testers? How let translators see (in their actual, lively GUI context) the strings they work on? How to enable art designers to actually *run* a program they are contributing icons and other artwork for? How can these groups of non-technical KDE contributors (who are not typically compiling KDE every night from the latest checked-out sources) get a full preview of what will go out to our users on Release Day? How can this happen long before the final release, practically 5 minutes after the code was written and compiled, and long before there are official packages created by everyone's favorite distro?

Need a funny start for this week? Try Microsoft tries to recruit me by Eric S. Raymond.

Ok, that was a lie, no cowbells ;) Getting tired of the primitive example application I had for QDS I deciced to create a better one, including a GUI one can take screenshots of :) Read More

Some of you may have first heard of this at aKademy. Jan and I are conducting a simple survey of developers in order to get a better idea of your development style and how we can make the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) better and more attractive for you to use. Read More

Free software development is all about feedback. Feedback from other developers, non-coder contributors to the project, your packagers and your users. Sometimes you get very few feedback, which could either mean you are not reaching anyone or everyone is so satisfied with the projects current state. Read More
