4 KDE Geeks on a San Francisco Walkabout

Originally uploaded by vanRijn

This was at the start of our 3 hour tour, which led us from 3rd and Market street, to Fort Mason, to Fisherman’s Wharf, then back by trolley (!) to 3rd and Market. Man, I’m [...]

No more need be said. =:)

Woohoo!
Day one from the KDE Launch Event at Mountain View, CA, and I’m tired, stoked, tired, excited, and… tired. Memorable spots include:

Waking up at 3:00 a.m., EST, flying all day, getting stuck in Silicon Valley traffic for 2 hours, etc.
Visiting a beautiful, big mall in Santa Clara. My eldest would LOVE this!
Walking into an actual [...]

One artist that I’ve always admired is Kevin Max. I always enjoyed his voice in dc Talk, and though he hasn’t enjoyed the success that TobyMac or Michael Tait, I think he’s every bit as talented. I just found a nice little interview with the man and I must say, I LOVE the new look, [...]

I had been running from svn for the last few months and things tend to get crufty after a while of that… Unless you do a full uninstall and reinstall between weeks, things just kind of get progressively worse.

Also, Lubos has done up a really nice write-up on KWin4’s features, setup, technical explanation, why KWin4 didn’t use Compiz, etc., etc. And I totally agree, Lubos, your release notes are far more important than the nifty KWin compositing showcast video! =:)

There is so much health stuff in the news these days and it is soooo expensive. Try these simple home remedies instead.

Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.

Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the shower. Going in the yard works too.

This evening, some of my geekly gadgets gathered together to greet their grandiose new gregarious guest. <G> =;)
I was unable to hold out any longer, apparently. I was able to sell my last-year’s model PSP (the 1000) for $125 on Ye Olde eBay (first time eBayer, woot!), with the intention of buying a new one [...]

Really cute comic (sinfest)!
You did it! Another lap around the sun! Good job! *pat* *pat*

Just discovered this really cool site that allows you to scrobble/tag/etc. to your last.fm account while you’re listening to Pandora. SWEET!! The only wrinkle is that it doesn’t seem to work from within Firefox. So just use Konqueror and you’ll be happy, like me.
Oh, and I know I’m getting ahead of myself by 1 minute, [...]
