Recently found this very interesting blog post on Planet KDE, and thought I might share it here: Windows 7 – and what army? and here’s a link to the Bloomberg article that supports it: Bloomberg – Click Oh, and to keep things interesting, here is a screenshot leaked for Windows 7. Apparently they’re going for [...]
As usual, I’m about two versions behind. (2.6.1) I’ve decided to stop procrastinating and upgrade WordPress. Happy to say it was flawless and we’re now running on 2.6.3. (Wow great excuse to use up a whole post – don’t worry I’ve got stuff in store)
As we all learnt from business class, nobody likes a monopoly. The government doesn’t like them, the consumers don’t like them, and well, the employees of the company with any sense of righteousness would not like their work either. Most famous monopoly debacle of technology? Microsoft. M$. The dicussion starts to die down when it gets [...]
It’s been quite a while since I had part 1 of this series. However, here is part 2. By this stage, you would almost definitely fit within the “Usage due to environmental pressure” or “Usage due to personal interest” groups. Both of these groups have similarity when it comes to end-user usage. This means that [...]
When I’m too busy to come up with stuff to show you, I find other interesting news and simply share. Turns out that the Blender folks have got some nominations for the Suzanne Awards, it’s time to check out what’s great in store for us. Check it out. For the sake of a longer post, [...]
Perhaps I don’t need to say it again, but I am a KDE person. This means Kopete, Konsole, Kontact (with KMail, Akregator, Calendar, Todo, etc), Dolphin, Plasma, KWin … KDE. However, funnily enough, one of my greatest it-looks-scary-lets-stay-away-from-it is Konqueror. For those that don’t know, Konqueror is KDE’s ultimate penknife applications. It’s used as a [...]
I’ve apparently poked about in the social side of the Interwebs and noticed that a new phenomenon is rising (OK, I’m a bit late) called Microblogging. Apparently it involves using your phone (or other ways) to send messages about yourself, to anybody who’s bothered to check what’s up about you. One popular site that offers [...]
I’m sorry. I might like Linux but I can see that pencil thin line (yes, that means it’s erasable) that differentiates (argh! Calculus!) between appreciation and fanaticism. I’ve done my share of blatant Linux propaganda (with a fair few converts) but I’ve dimmed down a bit now. If people want me to help with their [...]
My mum got a new laptop the other day and I’ve just put Gentoo Linux on it. *awaits exclamations of “WHAT!? … you cruel sick person.”* Well, obviously I would hide everything that’s considered “complex” and keep her happy on a GUI all the time (KDE). That’s the great thing about Gentoo. You can make [...]
Answers.com tells me: October 13 is the Expression error: unrecognised punctuation character “{“th day of the year Expression error: unrecognised punctuation character “{” in the Gregorian calendar. There are Expression error: unrecognised punctuation character “{” days remainingExpression error: unrecognised punctuation character “{“. Wow, looks like they’ve got some errors on their site. Anyways, my magazine [...]
Just a small update for today. The services page on E2-Productions.com has been updated. I’m up again for hire on some small jobs. Some posts I have planned up that you can look forward to: I made an animated presentation with some horrendous deadlines. The “Perspective” magazine which I designed and compiled has been published, [...]
For those who don’t know, KDE is a desktop environment (a GUI – graphical user interface) that can be used with Linux. In Linux, you choose what GUI you want, if you want one in the first place :) The KDE v4.1.2 has moved from the overlay to the main portage tree on October the [...]
Just some fun stuff I might share. There are a lot of them, but the majority of them in my opinion are really horrible. Here are some I picked out (Click on them for full size image). Note: I do not claim any credit for making any of them.
Quite accidentally, I’ve probably discovered the very thing the turns people away from open source (or, the free movement). That very thing is actually caused by the oh-so-famous Richard Stallman, who decided to take the liberty to sing the “free software song”. Listen to it. If you didn’t feel like repenting for your sins or [...]
Woke up yesterday and realised it was my birthday. *rest of post removed*
