 The Netherlands was one of the countries to vote early in the EU parliamentary elections this year — and it may end up in hot water due to releasing results early — so I did my bit. Now that things are over here, the paper is full of opinion articles on how the voting and campaigns were totally useless. Seems like a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there. In any case the biggest surprise in voting for me was casting a vote on paper. There were legal challenges to the voting machines — closed-source, not effectively auditable — over the winter and therefore things have switched back to paper. Seems now I need to think about the security of a big plastic bin again from a democratic perspective.

| If you’ve been using kdesvn-build to build qt-copy, I recommend updating to the Subversion /trunk version, or using the 1.9.1 release. This is to adapt to a recent change to the qt-copy configure script, which causes an infinite loop (with subsequent disk fillup thanks to output logging). 1.9.1 will not work with older versions of qt-copy however. For those who are interested, the change is to add a method for accepting a license without user prompting, which means that the previous method kdesvn-build employed (essentially running sed on the configure script) is now unnecessary (and harmful :-/). In other KDE news, I ran across an issue with KWin closing on me after I closed out of all applications, starting from the other day. I’ve committed a fix to trunk, but I’m still not sure why it’s started exactly. But if you’re running into issues with KWin closing on you when you close all windows make sure to update kdebase.

It looks like I got accepted on FISL, that’s really encouraging for me since I just started helping KDE team on Brazil ( My first KDE-Related talk was last year on LatinoWare ). I Will be giving a
talk entitled “KDE4 for the non-initiates” where I will present them the really-used-omg-awesome apps that the powerusers do use, but the normal user doesn’t know about it and could save thy life. the apps that I will talk about, besides a quick introduction of KDE4 itself: – Yakuake – because a quake style terminal that sexy-slide from the top of your screen is… you know, sexy and cool. ( and one of the “must have” apps, for sure. 4grid terminals always open when programming )

| На выставке Computex был замечен новый прототип смартбука ASUS Eee PC на 1ГГц чипсете Snapdragon, работающего на операционной системе Android. Низкое потребление питания процессором Snapdragon позволило избавится от активного охлаждения и тем самым увеличить продолжительность работы от батареи, уменьшить толщину и вес всего смартбука. Так же, использование в качестве операционной системы Android позволило уменьшить его стоимость. Прототип работает на процессоре Snapdragon с частотой 1ГГц, который позволяет проигрывать HD видео 720p. Но, как стало известно чуть позже, в скором времени нас ожидают двухядерные модели с чипсетом Snapdragon на частотах 1.3GHz и 1.5GHz. Увидеть смартбук в действии можно в подробностях.

A huge number of people read and write languages that run right-to-left (aka RTL) so it's good to have solid support for RTL. I fixed a few RTL bugs in Plasma's panels the other day and I noticed Marco killed another one a few days before that, but while running `plasma-desktop -reverse` I spotted a couple cosmetic issues.
I run plasma-desktop and some of the other tools maybe a couple times a year in RTL mode, and usually because someone has filed a bug report about it. That means new RTL bugs creep in far too easily.
What would be just excellent is if we had a developer who runs their desktop in RTL who could keep an eye on it and work on RTL patches. That way our RTL experience would be a lot better. The workload is probably fairly minimal as most things Just Work(tm) thanks to Qt; it's mostly where we do custom painting and placement that things sometimes go haywire.
If you have Qt development experience and would like to make Plasma rock ...read more...

| 4 июня 2009 года Федеральная антимонопольная служба (ФАС России) возбудила дело в отношении корпорации Microsoft по признакам нарушения пп. 4,6 ч. 1 ст. 10 ФЗ «О защите конкуренции». Дело в отношении корпорации Microsoft будет рассмотрено 24 июля 2009 года. Очень странная выборка под-статей обвинения. Это не всё, о чём мы просили ФАС. И ЦеСТ в статье не упомянут, т.е. возможно, что это всё то ли давление, то ли подготовка к чему-то большему. Более подробные комментарии последуют чуть позже...

Yesterday was "one of those days" for me where my brain just refused to kick into gear. This happens every so often. Think of it as a sort of Paris-in-my-mind where the workers just up and strike every so often refusing to let the creative juices get moving. Inconvenient, but then I push myself pretty hard at times so I'm just happy it doesn't happen more often. ;)
So I took care of boring and mundane things, the sort of things I can do without my creativity cap on. Today, however, the Parisian mob was back at work and my fingers are moving again. On the day after such events, I always feel compelled to try and work a bit harder to make up for time lost. I'm perhaps overly aware of my own mortality and that I have been given only so many days in this life to do the things I wish to do.
This didn't stop others from kicking ass and taking names in the wild worlds of Qt, KDE and Plasma, though.

So I finally arrived in Oslo for the NM applet meeting. Today I’m alone, since the meeting starts tomorrow, but I came here one day before to cut the travel costs (yes, hard to believe, but it’s true) and I decided to write a small something everyday, since it’s a whole new experience for me. I left from Bergamo at 10.45. 2 hours and a half later and 20°C less after, I finally arrived in Torp, greeted by the awesome view of the Danish and Norwegian coasts, one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. It still took an hour and a half to get to Oslo, and some more time to reach Anker, where I’m staying just for this night (I’ll join the rest of the KDE people in Munch tomorrow). The room is really nice, especially for the price paid. Oslo is kinda expensive, but I fit myself finding some pizza slices at 20kr (2 for 30). Not the best deal ever, but quite cheap for the standards indeed, I hope tonight I’ll be eating ...read more...

I decided to stop windows development - at least for a while. This means there will be no binary packages from my side for 4.2.4 and 4.3.x but I hope Saro will do them.
The main problem I see is the missing communication between the hobby programmers (like me) and the developers who get paid for their work on KDE. When you take a look at the kde-windows mailing list you will see that there's not much activity. And I don't think there's nothing to discuss... :(
Another problem I've is that I could not fix bugs in kdelibs just because the dependencies are moving fast and since we have to take care for all system libs (png, xml, openssl, pcre, ...). Making sure that they're up-to-date can take a lot of time. And when I finally managed to compile a KDE program I hit compiler errors. This is all fixable but not when you've only a little amount of time for KDE development.
I'm also disappointed by the role of the firms involved in KDE/windows development. ...read more...

| Yesterday I tagged the Avogadro 0.9.5 release, you can grab the latest downloads from here. Life has been hectic this last couple of months, and to be honest I have not gotten as much done as I would have liked. Still there are some great additions such as the experimental cartoon ribbon display ported by Tim from the Zodiac Zeden project.  Geoff also worked on getting more screen real estate for the actual display, after we bounced some ideas around over the last few months. I think that looks great, and have always tried to ensure the maximum amount of screen space was devoted to displaying the molecule. I still have a few more ideas, but fear I do not have the time to implement them. Geoff also added a new peptide builder and David has been working tirelessly on plotting spectra. I have been working on decidedly ...read more...
