Netbook, Pages and what they're for

,----[ Quote ]
| As presented on this blog a bit ago the 
| central and more important view for Plasma 
| Netbook Shell is this so called "Newspaper" 
| activity: applets are positioned in an 
| arbitrary number of columns (default two), 
| one on top of the other, scrolling when 
| there isn't enough space, giving you 
| actually an "almost infinite" vertical real 
| estate
| 
| At the beginning this was decide just for a 
| screen size issue, but with time this has 
| been revealed to be a damn good metaphor 
| that could have been expanded, so let's see 
| what the direction is.
| 
| As said pretty much over the place, the 
| "netbook" is not a little laptop is a 
| totally new class of device, that is kinda 
| inept to do what the computer has been used 
| for ages, create content.
| 
| The shift we are seeing now, is a shift on 
| using the computer to create content only in 
| certain moments (i.e. work ;p) and most of 
| the time just "consuming" content or 
| creating only really lightweight type of 
| content (hello microblogging).

KOffice & RDF: Who, What, When, Where?

,----[ Quote ]
| As mentioned in a previous post, ODF 
| documents can contain one or more RDF/XML 
| files. These files allow you to 
| unambiguously encode information for both 
| computer and human consumption. So you can 
| describe a person in a way that tells you 
| their phone number and also lets the 
| computer know that these digits are a 
| specific person's home phone number. Common 
| data formats like vcard and ical have some 
| encodings in RDF and soon a KOffice near you 
| will understand these pieces of data from 
| ODF files.
| 
| KOffice currently understands some of the 
| FOAF vocabulary (storing contact data), and 
| the rdfical format (for events). There are a 
| few ways to encode longitude and latitude in 
| RDF. The current patch supports two of them, 
| with optional linking to rdfical. This is 
| one of the major strengths of RDF, you can 
| say who, where and when and also link these 
| things together so an event carries not only 
| a time but its location information too.

Hands-on: Plasma, KWin improve in KDE SC 4.4 beta 1

,----[ Quote ]
| There are a number of more sophisticated
| KWin changes that are under active
| development but probably won't arrive in
| KDE SC 4.4. I'm particularly enthusiastic
| about a project that was undertaken by
| developer Nikhil Marathe which will
| ultimately add dynamic window tiling, so
| that KWin can be used like Ion and other
| keyboard-oriented tiling window managers.
| It's still at an early stage of
| development, but it shows considerable
| promise.
|
| Several new applications will debut in 4.4,
| including a new blogging tool called
| Blogilo. The tool, formerly known as Bilbo,
| is designed to give users a way to manage
| and post content to blogs that use the
| Metaweblog API, including Wordpress,
| MovableType, and Blogger. Its built-in
| content editor has optional WYSIWYG support
| and spellchecking. Due to its broad
| assortment of capabilities, Blogilo is
| arguably the most feature-rich native
| blogging tool on the Linux platform. It's a
| particularly useful tool for users who
| write multiple blogs and want to manage
| them through a single interface.

Is Tabbed Windows Going To Be The Next Big Thing?

,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1,
| tabbed windows is now available through its
| windows manager KWin. This raises the
| question, is tabbed windows going to be the
| next big thing after tabbed browsing?
|
| Tabs as a means of cleaning up the UI is by
| no means a new concept. It dates back to
| 1997 when NetCaptor, the first browser
| supporting tabed browsing was released.
| However, the concept really took off when
| Mozilla Firefox introduced it.
