KDE 4.3: Boom baby!

,----[ Quote ]
| Stability has gradually improved to the point where 
| I no longer have any problems at all. KDE boots 
| fast and without issue. Applications donât crash, 
| except for the printer applet after one update, 
| which was immediately remedied in the next. Kwin 
| effects are fast and leave no artifacts. KDE 4 is 
| stable.
| 
| Configuration-wise, things have improved too. 
| Config options have treacled back into KDE 4, and 
| while it still might not be up to the standard set 
| by its predecessor, itâs getting there.

Maemo Conference 2009 in Amsterdam

,----[ Quote ]
| Last weekend Amsterdam was visited by hackers from 
| various Free Software communities and companies 
| from around the world. Brought together by the 
| Maemo Summit in the WesterGasFabriek, they gave and 
| attended talks about topics like the Maemo 
| applications, user interface components, the 
| underlying infrastructure and of course the future 
| of Maemo. Read on for a short impression of this 
| conference.

Plasma widgets on Maemo5

,----[Quote  ]
| But after several more hours of hacking and trying 
| to figure out how transparency works in X11, I even 
| managed to get nice translucent applets. Also I 
| figured out how to hook up the normal maemo5 widget 
| configuration system to display the correct 
| configuration dialog when you click on the 
| configure button on one of these plasmoids. So with 
| in the end maybe 20 lines of code, I got a rather 
| good working implementation that makes it basically 
| possible to have any plasmoid you might have on 
| your normal kde desktop, also on your maemo5 home 
| screen. One (somewhat major) problem with the 
| current implementation is that it is not possible 
| to resize widgets, but as far as I can tell that is 
| mostly a limitation of the maemo5 desktop widget 
| system, so I'm not sure if there is anything I can 
| do about it from my side.

Early PCLinuxOS KDE 4 Test Run

,----[ Quote ]
| A friend of mine asked me to give him a Linux distribution as soon as
| possible, so I decided to see if PCLinuxOS was fine for him right now. I also
| decided to test their early implementation of KDE 4. Iâll keep this post
| brief because there isnât much to say. There isnât a KDE 4 ISO out from
| PCLinuxOS yet and I assume that will take a while as they add the polish
| required for the next release, which incidentally will be outâ when itâs
| ready.
