KDE makes me happy

,----[ Quote ]
| I'll be honest, I'm surprising myself by
| not returning to Openbox. I'm still running
| Chakra with KDE, and I still love it. It
| needs a couple extra seconds to boot, but
| afterwards it feels just as fast as
| Openbox. More specific, applications feel
| as fast in KDE as they do in Openbox. Of
| course, Dolphin is slower than Thunar, Kate
| slower than Leafpad, etc, but Emesene,
| Firefox, Transmission, and all the other
| applications I normally use feel just as
| fast.

Akonadi sprint 2009/10

,----[ Quote ]
| Ever since I began to work on KDE PIM
| (porting Akregator to Akonadi) as a Google
| SoC student I've wanted to start blogging
| about it but unfortunately never had the
| time for it. Now thanks to swine flu I
| caught recently I can get some rest and
| look back at the past few years.

Gwenview Importer

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been quite quiet on Gwenview front
| lately, getting a job which does not
| involve two hours in a train everyday and
| becoming a father for the second time
| apparently does not help to find free time
| to hack (how surprising!)

Kubuntu Notification Helper

,----[ Quote ]
| This is one of the first developing fruits
| that developed under the guidance of the
| Project Timelord roadmap. But before I talk
| about Kubuntu Notification Helper, I should
| give a little history about its
| predecessor, Update Notifier KDE.

Good karma

,----[ Quote ]
| So in a slightly reckless move I decided to
| update the machine to the next Kubuntu:
| karmic koala. This meant going to KDE 4.3.
| To my relief the install went very well.
| All important settings for digikam and
| kmail were migrated automatically. Dolphin
| is really nice and more intuitive for non-
| professional users. The kwin effects add a
| nice touch of class (translucent wobbly
| windows). Plasmoids on the desktop (photo
| frames and weather forcast) were very well
| received.
|
| In short: good karma! Thank you very much,
| Kubuntu team.
