Got (KDE) Shirts? (part deux)

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. 2 comments Posted in: KDE, KPilot

So, I received my custom-made KDE and KPilot shirts from spreadshirts.com yesterday, and am very, very impressed. 5 days to get the shirts printed and shipped is pretty darned impressive. Nice job, spreadshirt!!! The shirts seem to be well-made and of good quality. I’m just hoping that the logos and printing [...]

At least there’s always Monty Python when you’re having a rough day:
Son: Ah…ah know. But I want the girl that I marry to have… a
certain…*special*…something…
King: Cut that out!! Cut that out….
You’re marryin’ Princess Lucky, so you’d better get used to the idea!
GUARDS!!!
Make sure the prince doesn’t leave this room until I [...]

Got (KDE) Shirts?

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. 11 comments Posted in: KDE

So, after searching for some cool KDE swag online and finding none (found some shirts and stickers of dubious quality at cafepress.com, but has anyone actually ordered anything from them and had good or bad experiences to share??), I found spreadshirt.com and tried their T-shirt designer thingey. After thoroughly enjoying watching their Flash-based designer [...]

Wrapping up the Summer of Code

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: KDE, KPilot

I wrote this for this last week’s commit digest and didn’t want to steal Danny’s thunder, but here’s my thoughts on this year’s SOC KPilot project…
The KPilot summer of code project is winding down to a close, with this Monday being the “pencil’s down” date. Bertjan Broeksema has done an outstanding job and has accomplished [...]

KPilot progress(!!) and a fatal Plucker error

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: KDE, KPilot

First, Bertjan is doing a wunderbar job with the keyring conduit in KPilot/trunk! I stayed up a bit last night and hacked for a while. Felt darned good. One annoyance that we’ve found, though, is that it looks like KWallet::Wallet (the KDE wallet subsystem) assumes that every program that wants to access [...]

Um, yes, hi. I’m looking for Adriaan…

I’m pretty sure this has something to do with my fellow KPilot Dutch hacker friend….

KPilot, She Progresses

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: KDE, KPilot

Woohoo! I ate far too much cheesecake, far too late in the evening tonight, and therefore am still up at 2:30 a.m., hacking on KPilot. And oi(!) does it feel good. =:) We now have a working daemon, a working configuration window, a working kpilot main window, logging happening correctly over [...]

I just got an e-mail from one of my best friends, who profoundly stated:
 I was removing my SD card from one slot and putting it in another,
when I realized this was shown on the original Star Trek over 40 years
ago. We are living in the science fiction we grew up with.
So true, SuperDataMan!!  =:)

Good Morning, Vietnam^WPlanetKDE!

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: KDE, KPilot, Life in General

Greetings and salutations. And thanks to Chris for adding me to the planet. =:)
As an aside, there must be a cooler way of introducing oneself to an aggregator, but having wasted 10 minutes of my life trying to think of one (and not having actually come up with anything clevererer), I’ll relegate myself [...]

Visor Syncing Problems – A Solution

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. 2 comments Posted in: KPilot, Linux

I’ve been trying to help a KPilot user (Hi Ronny!!) track down a really annoying and fatal bug for more than a year now.  The bug is triggered by trying to sync a Visor handheld with KPilot, and what happens is that KPilot begins to connect to the Visor during a HotSync, but then it [...]
