KDE 4.0(.0)
So at long last the first release in the KDE 4 series, KDE 4.0 has been released.
Victory is mine
So I bought the game Galactic Civilizations II a long time ago. I was able to play it on my wife’s laptop and I figured it had to be pretty easy to get at least the major parts of the game running in Wine since it doesn’t have the copy protection code which normally breaks games nowadays, and it didn’t look like it was using any fancy DirectX features.
Qualified in submarines
So yesterday I completed my submarine officer qualification board. Today I had my dolphins pinned on me by my wife. It’s different having them on, I’m still not really sure what to make of it. For better or for worse you’re looked at differently by submariners if you are qualified in submarines. Unlike many other badges and awards you may encounter this one is still generally awarded only to those who deserve it and have completed all the applicable requirements.
I think I’m allergic to footballs
So I went to a football game today with officers from my ship. Throwing the football before the game, I somehow managed to injure the ring finger on my left hand on a catch. I kept it iced during the game and was able to flex it and everything but it never quite stopped swelling and it eventually bruised really badly.

More gifts
All that work I was doing to add parallel updating and building to kdesvn-build gave me a great appreciation for one thing that Perl does right: copious documentation, even if you need to use a special program to view it (perldoc, which man-page-ifies it).
kdesvn-build speed improvements (and some KMail)
I’ve started on work to implement a feature requested in bug 109619. Namely, to allow kdesvn-build to start the build process as soon as the first module has been updated from subversion and then to run the two updates in parallel as much as possible.

My scanner works
Spent a lot of time over the past two days scanning in some old photos that my Grandma has left me and trying to touch some of them up. I’m not good at photo editing but ye olde “Auto Adjust” feature has made a lot of these pictures look better. For a few of them they looked 100% better just from being scanned (xsane also has an auto-adjust feature).
