Back again (with a book review too)
Back from my last patrol. Now I’m close to being fully qualified. That will be nice to finally achieve.
Wheee
I’ll be gone for some weeks. (Actually I’ve already been gone by the time you read this :)
JuK love
As a parting gift to the KDE 3.5 series, I’ve gone and finally fixed a few annoying bugs in JuK. This includes bug 116181, which prevented the internet image search feature from working for most people (and then prevented it from working for everyone), bug 126032, which caused the last item in the Play Queue to play twice before shifting back to normal playback, and bug 131238, which resulted in right-clicks in the History playlist showing the wrong column names.
I can’t think of a good title
But two relatively big events happened over the past week. This past Friday I was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade. And today I finally qualified as Engineering Officer of the Watch and Engineering Duty Officer (on the same board no less). So now I just have like a million more qualifications until I get qualifed as a Submarine Warfare Officer.
kdesvn-build 1.4
I’ve released kdesvn-build 1.4 just now. It includes a couple of minor bugfixes, the default options and modules have been revised, and now kdesvn-build supports using the KDE FTP Subversion nightly snapshots when checking out trunk KDE modules. (Thanks to dirk for fixing the FTP mirror script to support kdesvn-build).
QMail
In the past couple of hours I’ve managed to fix 3 different screwups I made with qmail. Because having to deal with qmail (or rather, MTAs in general) always gets me upset, I figured I’d document what I’ve done for posterity. Sorry to the Planet KDE readers, this is longer than I thought it would be.
Wiki wiki wiki
So since I haven’t been very useful coding for KDE recently I figured I could at least help get the new KDE Developer Wiki in even better shape. It’s really nice to have it in Wiki format I think. I just started on transferring the stuff on the HOWTOs and FAQs part of the old developer site and cleaned up a few spelling errors and grammar flaws on the way. Since it’s a Wiki if I notice such problems in the future it won’t mean a 7-step process to fix it, I can fix it right from the page instead.
It’s a good thing I exist
Because I wanted to install clee’s updated SPC player plugin for gstreamer, I went and created a couple of ebuilds for Gentoo Linux.
Migrating user data
So last time I mentioned that I bought a new computer and moved my user and system data over, and that I would mention some of the steps I took. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be.
Goodbye broadway
The title isn’t referring to me visiting New York. Rather, it’s referring to my old computer, which I have replaced as my main computer/server. The new computer serves a few important uses for me that the old one did not:
