Haven’t blogged in a while, guess I’ve been pretty busy. Which is a pity, as I have always lamented the fact that there was no Planet KDE, until clee went and fixed that for me.
Scott’s been busy himself this past week, but slipped in enough time to ask me to commit some of my pending patches that I had asked him to review. I get the impression that he didn’t actually have time to review them, but I’ve been using them myself for about a two weeks now, and I haven’t received bug reports on them yet, so I guess they must have been OK. :-)
I somehow managed to work up enough energy today to close quite a few bugs in JuK, and also release a new version of my KDE build script. I sort of cringe when I see easy feature additions to JuK that I could work on, since I know they’ll have to wait for 4.0. :-( Of course, sometimes people file wishlist bugs that are actual bugs in their own right, such as Bug 84728, so that helps.
Back to the topic on hand, however, I’ll be leaving soon to visit my grandparents. They hold a family reunion every year, and I haven’t had a chance to attend for about 6 years now, so I guess I’m rather overdue. The only problem is that I hate vacations, as they do nothing but keep me from my coding. :-(
And before I forget, if you’re experiencing horrible layout problems with KHTML, try reducing your optimization settings in your CXXFLAGS to something sane (less than -O3 for starters). If you’re compiling for super-optimization, then it would perhaps behoove you to note that modern systems tend to perform better with -Os than with -O3 nowadays as processors outpace the memory systems on computers.
