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!
Akademy 2008 is over and it’s kind of bittersweet for me, as I hear it was the best Akademy in the last couple of years and I wasn’t able to attend. I am glad that everyone found it such an enjoyable time though, I will hopefully be able to show up for one some day.
I’ve spent quite some time watching the Olympic games this past couple of days. There’s a lot more excitement than I’m used to, between Michael Phelps winning 8 gold medals (including 2 squeaky finishes), the excellent performances of our gymnastics and volleyball teams and watching Bolt destroy all competition on track and field. It’s kind of a shame to see China apparently faking the age of some of their gymnasts and going overboard in keeping protests away, especially given how unnecessary it is. China’s athletes have done very well so far, there’s no need for trickery, and trying to hide protesters is kind of like a Streisand effect. We already knew that China had dissidents, and now it’s also all over the news. Either way the Games themselves have been good although I’m starting to think it would be nice to have a organization not so completely corrupt like the International Olympic Committee to handle the Games. But I suppose the kind of money we’re talking about it practically going to guarantee rampant corruption :-/
Anyways I’m working right now on polishing off the kio_perldoc KIOSlave which I’ve added to kdesdk and I will probably make another kdesvn-build release in the not-too-distant future. Also, does anyone know who I should ask about adding a screensaver to kdeartwork?
