Here I go again
So by the time you read this I’ll be deployed again.
kdesvn-build 1.7.1
OK, so that last release had a slight bug that basically caused it to not work at all for new modules (i.e. ones you’d svn checkout instead of svn update). And then when I fixed one bug it turned out I unmasked a bug that kept qt-copy from configuring. All that then helped me find an unrelated bug too so a day later you get a kdesvn-build with 3 bugfixes.
Whooooo
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally beat the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first time in like 3 years. And here I was worried about this season but our team is managing to find ways to win (well, for the most part).
kdesvn-build 1.7
kdesvn-build 1.7 is out. The list of features/bugfixes is fairly long and I don’t feel like re-massaging it. I think it warrants you grabbing it if you’re already using it though.
Neat KWin trick
I’m not sure when this changed in KDE 4 but if you move your mouse to the upper-left corner and keep trying to “push” you’ll get the “exposé” effect without having to use the keyboard shortcut, and then click on the window you want. Handy alternative to Alt-Tab.
Debate time
Why are you taking notes on the debate? I thought you already mailed in your vote.
PlayStation 3
My wife bought me a PS3 as an early Christmas present (and so I could possibly bring it on the boat for the next underway).
Adventures
So the recent Hurricane Hanna that passed by forced our ship to get underway last week and I got to spend almost a week deployed. Yay. I’m back for now but we’ve been super-busy since then trying to make up for lost time.
kdesvn-build 1.7 improvements
There’s enough changes in the upcoming kdesvn-build release to bump the version to 1.7 instead of another 1.6.x release. Here’s a sampling:
Olympics and other fun stuff
So I was excited to see my people behind KDE interview get posted the other day, especially since the comments were much more positive than I was expecting. blauzahl did a good job on the interview, I’d like to thank her and Danny Allen for taking the time to work on it. It was hard for me just to handle the Q&A session so I don’t want to think of how much work they put in!
