I just discovered Planet KDE and immediately got addicted. Planet GNOME was one of my favorite readings on the web the last months, but I think I have to switch now. ;-) Read More

There has always been this inane call to port KDevelop to windows so we can entice windows developers to Qt. Personally I think this call is bullsh*t, and think it makes about as much sense as saying "More people will use Macs if they port Adobe Photoshop to Windows." None the less, I still have to do windows development for some customers... Read More

Perusing the apache logs I noticed some hits coming from kdehispano.org. Pedro Jurado aka melenas has translated some things from the digest. My question is how to assist those who would like to translate? I haven't given it much thought, but would be willing to set things up so others could read the digest. Read More

Yeah, it looks for me like deja vu: one day Sun introduced OpenOffice.org, more recently IBM presented Eclipse (development environment). Why I am talking about this here, you may ask? I am not too big enthusiast of Java and Java-related tools/technologies, even if in ancient times I've tried IBM's Visual Age, for Java and Smalltalk, IIRC. However my work is somewhat related to 1) openoffice.org 2) Kexi (and also more-and-more reusing/sharing bits of KDevelop). So, I've subjective feelings about oo.org and Eclipse: Read More

I did a talk to Edinburgh GNU/Linux Users Group and again to Tayside KGX Users Group this week past. Discussed how to become a KDE Developer, some nice KDE features and software patents (EU elections tomorrow and this weekend, please vote Europeans). I have just put up the quickly put together slides.

In the recent Poll on KDEPims release schedule I wanted to answer, but realized the answer is not that simple; and KDE has been running in the same circle for too long to see that there have been developments out there which change the release stuff completely; in other words, time for my first BLog here :) Read More

Ok, I got tired of the old file-name based background image selection, so I hacked up something to use the (first line of) comment in the JPEG meta data. [image:477] Read More

I added support for receiving bold, italic, and underline text in yahoo today. It was pretty easy. The next step is to now implement the sending of it, which will probably be a tad harder, especially considering how brain-dead some clients tend to be when handling rich text. Should be lots of fun. I've decided that i'm going to try and write here more often. Now let's just hope I have more interesting things to write about. :-) Read More

Last night I was able to commit to CVS the first cut of a kjsembed app I'm working on that will be useful to anyone - even if they don't care about scripting. The app I'm talking about is called Imunge and is intended to be a styleguide compliant tool for manipulating images. Read More

I've been thinking for quite some time on how to install multiple distributions onto a single hard disk. At the moment, my sole reason for doing this would be to troubleshoot bugs on the various distributions since some of them seem to be distribution specific, and I'm sure I'll find other uses later. I'm pretty sure I've got a decent idea for booting things in my head, it should be pretty easy, and sharing a boot partition should be a piece of cake. I have a few ideas for how I can share certain things from the home directory as well. Perhaps when I feel like being without a system for a few days, I'll give it a whirl. Here's the distributions I was thinking of installing: Read More
