New Stylesheet

Ok, so I touched it a lit­tle.

If any­one hates it too much, or it's bro­ken some­how, let me know how to fix it, since I have no idea about CSS.

I think the code snip­pets look a lot bet­ter now, and spe­cial­ly, thanks to Georg's tip, they don't screw the lay­out any­more.

One weird thing, though (not re­al­ly re­lat­ed).

Ap­par­ent­ly, long ago, I knew how to put the source of the item on a post (see here, the Source KDE Dot News part).

Ei­ther the op­tion is gone, or I for­got how to do it. Even if I ed­it that old post, I can't see where it is.

Bedazzled By Bejeweled!

My Sony Clie came with a game called Be­jew­eled.

I have played 450 games of be­jew­eled in the last 72 hours.

This game is:

  1. Sim­­ple

  2. Ad­dic­­tive

  3. Evil

I feel like a ham­ster on a wheel. Or like a rat in a maze. I can al­most feel new con­nec­tions in my brain cor­tex, as my sub­con­scious brain is taught to re­act with­out ra­tio­nal thought to the sight of three al­most-­touch­ing coloured thin­gies.

My cur­rent high score: 49980 points

Up­date: Some­one has ap­par­ent­ly scored 10026350 . I feel so smal­l.

Qmail Address Lister

It has been way too long with­out post­ing a longer item, so... I re­ci­cled a script I wrote for a cus­tomer, and here it is:

A python script that lists (al­most) all email ad­dress­es in a qmail sys­tem.

Al­so, a slight­ly tweaked CSS, thanks to Georg!

The Roberto KDE Show

I will be speak­ing at the Primer Con­gre­so Na­cional de Soft­ware Li­bre on May 27th, at 15:00.

Now, I am not all that thrilled about it, since it's a com­mer­cial event and I am not get­ting any mon­ey for it, but it's a chance to show KDE, and I am a pret­ty good de­mo guy.

How­ev­er, look at the spon­sor list: IB­M, HP, Sun, Nov­el­l, and Mi­cro­soft.

Yeah, Mi­cro­soft.

So, I did whine a lit­tle to the or­ga­niz­er­s, about how this was not ex­act­ly a free soft­ware even­t, and that I did­n't just speak for free for any­one who asked me.

Well, they told me that the spon­sors pay, but it's a free soft­ware even­t, and that I am im­por­tant for the even­t, as a mem­ber of the free soft­ware move­men­t, or what­ev­er.

Ok, since it's like all oth­er free soft­ware events, I am now con­sid­er­ing wardrobe.

Jeans and T-Shirt is an ob­vi­ous choice. I use that even on com­mer­cial events.

But... what t-shirt? Here's one good can­di­date.

I spe­cial­ly like the "KILL BIL­L" mod­el be­cause it shows my com­bined ad­mi­ra­tion for Lin­ux And Quentin Taranti­no.

Too bad I can't or­der a t-shirt from North Amer­i­ca. I will have to gimp it, hope they don't mind!

Ok, I always preferred Mindi anyway!

Found this here.

Nice stuff about the Mork file for­mat Mozil­la is us­ing for some stuff. Nice if you like pain, that is.

Here's JWZ's orig­i­nal blog spe­cial­ly read the com­ments.

Here's the as­so­ci­at­ed bugzil­la en­try.

Just be­cause I'm whim­si­cal, Min­di is a Lin­ux dis­tri­bu­tion, used by Mon­do.

And just be­cause I am a free soft­ware guy:

I have no idea what Kon­queror does about its his­to­ry file, but it seems Mozil­la is now stor­ing mail in Mork for­mat? That's gonna hurt if you ev­er want to im­port it from some oth­er ap­p!
