Progress...
Therefore, I diverted some of the programming energy towards an old project, called Uqbar.

The python shelve module is too limiting for the database needs of KRsN, so I'm moving it to SQLite and PySQLite.
While this adds another dependency, it's a small one, and the coding becomes way simpler. So, I'm doing it, because fighting against the tools is foolish, and shelve was not doing it without a fight :-)
For anyone who likes FTE, a traditional programmer's editor from OS/2 (and DOS, and Mac, and X, and linux console, and pretty much everywhere :-), this version provides a pure Qt and a KDE version.
While KFTE will probably never become a full KDE application (it doesn't support standard shortcuts, for example), it is a cool editor, and one you can use everywhere.
Right now, the way to get it is through KDE's CVS, module kfte, instructions for KDE's current sources here
Well, if you are one of the 6 who actually checked the link in the previous entry, you will know I am writing a news aggregator ;-)
It is progressing quickly. Now it is almost a real application, and only 3 or 4 important features are still missing.
The only thing I wish is that there was a KDE 3.1 python binding, since I would need it to use KHTML :-(
Qt's QTextBrowser is nice, but it is not a HTML rendering engine, and it would give it a nice integrated feel. Ok, eventually PyKDE 3.1 will come out, I suppose :-)

I must confess I was pretty pissed at some people around here at the time (note to self: maybe putting my real email address here is not such a good idea. Some people are really scary).
I have been a nullity when it comes to coding, I have declared KRN dead (and since support for KDE 1.x is waning, that's a good thing :-P)
However, I have had some recent events that make me think I may still have an app inside me trying to get out. More news on that tomorrow, hopefully.
I certified Taj (didn't knew you had a diary here, friend!) as master, because, of course, he is one.
After reading his diary, I chuckle remembering how I introduced him to python ;-)
