Konquering the problem: Part 2

Posted Sun, 04/26/2009 - 03:09 by kyle

Konqueror and KHTML continue to be a bit of a contentious issue. My last post received quite a treatment.  There was a lot of good feedback and I appreciate the thoughtful comments people made.  There were some really good thoughts and there are a few things I want to cover that I previously didn't. So first things first:

Konquering the problem

Posted Wed, 04/22/2009 - 03:29 by kyle

I've been on a fairly long hiatus from this blog.  However class, contracting and starting a business have left me without much extra time.  That being said, there have been a lot of different things kicking around in my head.  This one has for awhile:

To All The Lovely People

Is your blog syndicated on the planet?  Is there a possibility that there are non-ASCII characters appearing in your blog?  If so please make sure that they are properly encoded into XML entities.  Many XML readers are very strict so if you do not correctly encode these entities they will die (Firefox and dot.kde.org are both notable).

A bit of news

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. School was very busy and I've been on vacation.

First, an update. The dot is very near completion. I've been saying this for awhile, I know. However, it will be coming out in January (and before the release of 4.2)! I wanted to have it out a lot sooner but school has kept me from finishing up the few remaining issues. But now, being on break I'll have some time to finish it up.

Oh ya and...



See everyone there!

A status update for everyone, the Dot update is in progress. Both myself and the other person working on it have been pretty bogged down by school, but some of the final pieces are coming together.

What We Should Aspire To

It isn't often that I come across something as cool as this. It's something that's simple, but really amazing. First, watch the video, then read the details.

These are the kinds of things that we should be aspiring to. Being on Linux (mostly), we can throw open the doors to make improvements. Maybe KDE should have a goal of a fully composited a usable desktop in ten seconds.

Twitter Me!

So I'm on twitter now. My wonderful twitter page is somewhat blank right now, but will be full of useful things in the future. Also, I want to follow any KDE and Drupal people on twitter. Put usernames or links in the comments so that I can follow you!

Join the cause!

Warning: This is not a KDE related post in any way.
Update: Doh! Totally messed up the link. Should be fixed now.

A triumphant return

This post is my triumphant return first to getting another blog post up (though the hiatus was not that long) and more importantly for the triumphant return of #kde-www. So listen closely yee wayfarer of the interwebs for this journey will be long an perilous (not really).

Bring back #kde-www

Posted Wed, 08/27/2008 - 01:24 by kyle

Interestingly enough it seems that there is actually an IRC channel for kde websites, it just isn't populated by anyone. Now, I'm not the overarching authority on all things KDE on the web. But I would really like to see people in #kde-www on irc.freenode.net.
