The new KDE website redesign is due any day now (with the release of KDE SC 4.4) and when it’s released you will be able to see how ideas were amalgamated from many different mockups and some which I’ve not had the records to post. The final design is different, much more aligned with the [...]
Only 2 days left until the KDE SC 4.4 is released, but apparently the website design is due out on the 8th! Yes, that’s tomorrow. Today’s update shows a stage in the mockup which is natural to designers – the rejection stage. A new idea (in this case, minimalism) is chosen and we try out [...]
Yep, it’s just 3 days left until KDE SC 4.4 is released and we see even more polish on yesterday’s design for the KDE website. We’ve now shaped it into a full design and we’re debating which ideas we like from this and which should be thrown away. Click here to check it out. As [...]
Another day and we continue to see development on the KDE website redesign. We’re fleshing out the KDE webdesign mockup seen yesterday into a full page and it’s taking shape slowly but surely. Check it out here. As usual you can see the full series (3 in total now) on my WIPUP profile.
Right, it’s a day later and it’s time to see where we’ve gotten with the redesign of the KDE website. As most of you noticed yesterday, the main gripes were with the header of the design. Today’s update is a small but necessary one – one that shows the start of a new design idea. [...]
I like dabbling in web development and design and so I was quite happy to be able to participate in the redesign of the new KDE.org website due to release in conjunction with KDE SC 4.4 on February 9th. This was what I was working on during the past week and I must say I’ve [...]
I am of the opinion that the default emoticons on KDE are disgusting. Over time I’ve grown accustomed to them but lately I decided to do something once and for all. My solution was in the KDE forums – which had a different iconset (shouldn’t they be the same?) Sure, they didn’t have as many [...]
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 – [...]
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 [...]
Well then. I’ve been motivated by Hans Chen who originally decided to walk the path to a KDE developer and to do my own. For the technophobes, KDE is an actively developed desktop interface (for want of a better description) which is pushing ahead what the desktop is capable. It is also a community for [...]
PIM is the acronym for Personal Information Management: todo lists, email, rss, calendar, contacts, journals, blogs, etc. Recently I have been poking around trying to achieve the “zen” of PIM, where my PIM data is accessible from anywhere, and from any medium – from the internet, from my Windows Mobile 6 powered phone, and from [...]
If you read my initial post about Google Chrome (the OS, not the Brow- wait a minute, is there even a clear distinction anymore?) you would have realised that I didn’t really give opinions on what I felt about it but instead how I visualised it to be. I believe in designating some mull-over time [...]
Imagine a computer system that was semantic. For those unaffiliated with this concept, this is similar to having your computer understand you as a human would. This is often easier to explain through examples. For example, when you click that spot on the screen, that’s because you want to achieve something. The computer understands what [...]
Note, this is a long post. It also covers a tiny fraction of what is out there to understand. More updates will come about the open-source culture in the future. This text is also mainly written for those familiar with the Linux culture (as I use them as an analogy) – though regular business model [...]
Right. I didn’t give a post yesterday because my host was moving servers from America to Australia. So to all the people who were experiencing connectivity issues yesterday that was what the problem was. Things are getting ship shape and soon the site should be accessible to everybody worldwide without any issues. It already works [...]
