This Week...

KJSEmbed adds shell calls and now builds with QT. KDevelop has a new documentation viewer, with bookmarks, printing, plugins and full text search. KSVG2 ecma support added. KNotes is now network enabled. Konqueror gets an enhanced version of caret mode. Kopete supports KIMproxy, the generic IM interface. Many bugfixes in Juk, Kate, Umbrello and others.

Here is my snapshot of a week using the Linux Desktop.

One evening we noticed a very bright objects in the sky. I fired up KStars and found it to be Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. Nothing beats the real thing, but KStars is cool. Very easy to use even for someone unfamiliar with astronomy. I could figure out where to look, what to look for.
Quanta is proving very handy for php editing
Konsole has right now 5 tabs open, one with tail -f error_log for Apache.
KMail is always open, checking every 5 minutes or so, filtering the thousands of kde-cvs emails. I found a bug however, seems to bork on a folder with 81003 messages in it. Konqueror is working very well.
Three X sessions open all the time, just a matter of ctrl-alt-f* to switch between the three users in the family. Two are KDE 3.2.1, and the one I use is from cvs.

What is funny about this is a co-worker said knowingly 'you are always fiddling with linux, aren't you', while he hauled his box up to a service shop to be fumigated for some trojan or other. No, I don't fiddle with things. Uptime of 49 days, a weekly Gentoo update to keep current. There are some annoyances, and there always will be, but life is good.

The Digest rewrite is progressing well. The url handling was changed a couple of days ago, so links from last week won't work. The statistic generation is rewritten, outputting an xml file with the various statistics. Here is an example of a statistics page that will be generated each week for your pleasure. Don't pay much attention to the numbers. Right now I'm having issues with cvsup, and the local repository from where the statistics are generated isn't complete.
