Twitter has successfully put the “Twit” in “Twitter”. Some people realised that I apparently vanished off the face of the Earth on Twitter. I realised that I used Twitter in a way that was better served through other methods. I followed people/groups in order to keep up with tech news, and mainly “tweeted” in order [...]
Some of the old-timers on this site might recognise the title’s startling similarity to the introductory article I wrote about LaTeX. I received some questions on how I created the music sheet in the previous post about my upcoming composition, Evan, and the answer is: with Lilypond. As you’ve probably guessed already, Lilypond is a [...]
I’ve been doing composition again! School has started and that means that it’ll be difficult again to keep up with the rest of my interests. I’m quite happy to say that I’ve managed to keep the post-every-two-days going for a while, with each post actually announcing something significant that has occurred or something I did [...]
Folks from PlanetKDE last heard me announcing my journey along the path to become a KDE developer. There are many ways to do this and unfortunately the path that involves learning a load of C++ and start developing applications is still making slow but steady progress and not (yet) eligible for public announcement. But – [...]
As of today, visionbin.com no longer exists. It has been a memorable experience since the VisionBin project first began a good year back. It was a little bit of several ideas pieced together to form something utterly confused. VisionBin joins the long line of projects that were once the single reason behind existing to nothing [...]
This is the second time I’m putting Gentoo on my mum’s computer. The first time was a good year or so ago – however my own old laptop got a hardware failure soon after and so I *ahem* took her computer. (I’m innocent I swear!) She’s decently computer illiterate and has always wanted to learn. [...]
Project Eadrax, one of the main things I’ve been dedicating my time to nowadays is currently stalled. This is because to continue we really need a design. Unfortunately our designer promised more than he could deliver and it’s been a waiting game for quite a while now. He asked to be given one more week [...]
Today I just wanted to say that I finally got around to upgrading the system behind the Blender Model Repository. The BMR runs on the Xoops CMS and I can’t say it’s the best CMS I’ve seen. It’s a good many versions out of date and has been in need of an upgrade for quite [...]
I was clearing out some of the spam comments I receive on this blog when I noticed some comments were debatable. The contents of the comment were definitely related to the subject matter and some even showed a hint of legitimate interest, but they linked back to sites akin to “losebodyweightnow.com” and posted under ridiculous [...]
You know that nervous feeling you get just before you install Linux for the first time? Especially if you’re installing something like Gentoo – all that weird scrolling of funny commands scream “no more warranty for you“? It’s quite the same when you flash your first ROM – the equivalent of installing an OS on [...]
Recently I wanted somebody I knew online to do something for me. He has agreed to do this and it’s not unreasonable. Plenty of time has already passed with delays again and again. So I asked my Dad: Dad, how do you chase somebody online? My Dad works in management, so his entire job revolves [...]
This morning is the day before my exam results get released. Of course, I’m very nervous and my hands are sweating to the extent of dripping on the floor. No, I’m not nervous (touch wood – actually, I am), it’s because I have a hand condition known as hyperhidrosis. It is a genetic condition and [...]
This is an old one (and I take no credit for it), but cracks me up every time I read it and I’m sure that I’m not the first. However it’s great to share, and here it is … again :) Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, “If [...]
Hello all KDE users out there! If nothing got borked in the process this blog post should be aggregated in the Planet KDE feed :) Obviously, this is my first post, and that warrants some introduction to any new readers out there. My name is Dion Moult, I am a KDE-user (running on my favourite [...]
