I got one of the Linksys WRT54G Routers from aKademy, and I must say it really rocks. It can be whatever you want: Easy to use or a real geek toy. Why? Well, it runs linux :) Read on if you are looking for a new router, somthing that runs Linux or just some cool piece of hardware. Read More

I did this test http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php and here the result: "You are Slackware Linux. You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete." Read More

i made a nice little floating head and i just wanted the world to know about it. I know used my cat because I'm really ugly and I should not be allowed to go outside without a browm paper bag on my head :) Read More

So, with some of the new stuff for displaying cover art, I was inspired to hack out a "now playing" bar. I suppose a picture is worth a thousand words, so here goes: Read More

So one of the reasons I went to Mexico last week was to get more Latin American developers involved in KDE. So it looks like I got one and thats cool. We need more developers on this side of the world. We already have some cool guys, but we could get more. Maybe November should be "Hook a friend" month. I wonder what would happen if each of the *American devs got one new developer involved with KDE? Would we get cool new features? Would we get new top bug fixers? Might be fun.

A while ago, it was questioned on kde-devel why was KFileReplace in the KDE WebDev package. The reasoning is that no one looking for that application specifically would think it was inside a web development package. The same holds true for Kommander.

You got one of those nice HP nx5000 with SUSE 9.1 preinstalled at aKademy? You were annoyed because the stupid intel chipsets could not handle mixing and the sound device was permanently busy? No more! Read More

"Howdy" isn't a question. This point seems to have confused a number of my European friends. Sure, it sounds like -- and is probably derived from -- "How do you do?" but it's a simple greeting and is used like the variations on "good day" in various languages / dialects (g'day, bonjour, buenos dias, dobry den, moin, guten Tag, etc.) If you respond with "fine" this will cause nothing but confusion. Instead you can reply with the same or another greeting. Read More

My laptop was Ryanaired. A new screen would be 500 quid so result was a new laptop (same trusty IBM Thinkpad r40e). Lessons: always carry your laptop as hand luggage on an aeroplane and always check your luggage before you leave the airport. Read More
