The Killer App keeping her on Windows is… Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux used to have a fantastic client – KDE-SVN for KDE 3.5. It was better
| than Tortoise in many ways (it not only showed what you had modified locally,
| but not committed, but also showed what was newer on the server than the
| version you had), but not as good in others. The move to KDE4 broke it, and
| now it has “more bugs than a bait store”, and crashes on routine operations.
| It was also integrated with Konqueror, the old KDE file manager, and no one
| has (to my knowledge) taken the time to port it to Dolphin, so now it is just
| another, separate SVN client.

Almanah — a Diary App for You
,----[ Quote ]
| Ever wanted to note down some things that happened to you in a day? Diaries
| are ever useful for logging things that you might need to refer to in the
| future and to keep them in a calendar form would be easy for some. Others
| need to be able to refer to the calendar to make sure that the entries are
| consistent. Almanah seems to be an application made solely for that purpose.

| Perhaps this quote jumped out on me because all the bank run jokes made this
| year. However, that wasn't the first thing that came to mind. Instead, I
| thought immediately of Microsoft's presence at OSCON this year and the launch
| of their campaign to pretend they haven't spent the last ten years trying
| destroy all of Free Software and Open Source.

| Never forget why they are making the offer. Microsoft is unique among
| proprietary software companies: they are the only ones who have actively
| tried to kill Open Source and Free Software. It's not often someone wants to
| be your friend after trying to kill you for ten years, but such change is
| cause for suspicion.
