OpenSUSE 10.3-alpha4 Is Hella Better Than Fedora 7
also, do not upgrade all of your KDE packages without logging out/in again vanRijn: you could just have run kbuildsycoca manually ;) * pusling only recieved about 10 bugs in kde abouth the upgrade to 3.5.7 broke their installation pusling: meh. Real Men Zap X (TM). =;P ;) heh I just went through re-install hell the last 2 days got 4 hours of sleep 2 nights ago went from opensuse 10.2.... installed fedora 7... apparently my cryptoloop-encrypted home partition is completely unusable with kernel 2.6.21. i blame the new pata drivers. so downloaded opensuse 10.3-alpha4 (all 6 cd's, 'cause they don't have a dvd iso, grr) installed it (went surprisingly smoothly for an alpha) and found out that it also is unable to use my cryptoloop-encrypted home partition (kernel 2.6.21 also) did a rescue boot off of a suse 10.1 dvd copied all 30 gigs of my home partition off to an external usb drive (like scraping your gums, it's so slow) reformatted home with straight XFS, copied it back (went much faster, not being encrypted) re-installed fedora 7, thinking that things would be better this time discovered that fedora 7 is a big, stinking piece of poopie which does not play nicely with my hardware (thinkpad T42--hangs it intermittently and refuses to shut down cleanly) re-re-installed opensuse 10.3-alpha4 and am now back to where I was before all this started, with a new alpha4 release which runs as smoothly as anything I've ever run before also, 10.3-alpha4 (well, Factory, actually) has KDE 3.5.7 which is what I updated to immediately before I blathered about the mime-type issues and that's where you came in all "kbuildsycoca"-ey... =;PPP Oooh, I need to blog that

I have seen these published elsewhere, but I got these from my beautiful daughter recently and meant to post them. They are very funny and not at all outside the realm of me being serious about them. =:)

Google Summer of Code and KPilot
Coming to a town near you!!! Well, okay, not quite, but we’re making progress. Here’s a tentative schedule:
How To Transfer Hi-8 Camcorder Videos To DVD
I have spent the better part of the last 4 days trying to figure this out, so this will serve both as a reminder to self of how to do this, as well, hopefully, as some form of help to those who come after and, like me, cannot find a stinking tutorial about how to do it for the life of them…
KPilot Porting to KDE4
… she continues. Although, I can unreservedly say that if, by some miracle, we manage to squeeze kpilot back into kdepim before the deadline which is 5 days from now, it is ONLY because of the totally generous and utterly amazing help from Montel Laurent. Once again, THANK YOU Montel!!!!
The Porting of KPilot to KDE4
It has begun… Any and all help would be Greatly Appreciated.
Syncing Exchange Calendar 1-way Into Korganizer/Kontact
I’ve alluded to this before, but never really posted properly about it. Warning: this is very geeky…
Google SOC, KDE, KPilot, and Me
Woohoo!! It’s official!! This year, KDE is once again participating in Google’s Summer Of Code (SOC), and we have 40 projects that have been approved by Google! Thankfully, KDE PIM has more than a couple of approved projects (which is really good news!!). Also, I will be a mentor this year (first time, yay!) for a much-needed KPilot SOC project which will go a long way towards making KPilot maintainable, stable, and more consistent (read: better, faster, easier to follow, and less bugs)! I will be working with Bertjan on the project and am looking forward to getting some more momentum behind KPilot (only the best Palm-synching solution in existence today….).
