Qt 4.6 for Maemo: It works!
Today at work, David King kindly informed me that there was some new Qt package in extras-devel. This could only mean one thing - I immediately fired up my scratchbox environment and installed the packages, trying to confirm that this new version would run with Qlom. And in fact, it was surprisingly painless. Thanks to autotroll, a simple QT_PATH env variable did all the magic, hooray! ...
Miniature - it moves!
How it begun
Well, and it is a phone!
So after months of denial it turns out, that the/we Maemo folks really built a phone!
Zweite Liga! Endlich!
Eisern Union, welcome to the second league! It took many attempts, but you guys were unbeatable this year! Seems you turned my into a football fan.
NXTalk
I've been visiting a Squeak meeting this weekend, and what impressed me most was the NXTalk talk (heh!) by Martin Beck. Yep, NXT. With other words, a stripped-down Smalltalk VM for your LEGO® Mindstorm roboter - fun!
Thanks again for forwarding the invitation mail, Nicolas.
The power of github
A lot has already been said about github, but I guess it can't harm if I make a list of my preferred features:
- Dashboard (need to be logged in to see): this is your personal start location. It contains many useful links and other automatically generated information, such as news from people you track ("follow"). It is the most prominent feature regarding the user-centered approach of github ...
They can? We can!
Perceive the result of the elections with great pleasure. Yes, they can!
Didn't know I am that attached, but had tears of joy when Obama's landslide victory was sure. Seems The States now have a president representing many positive ideas foreigners have about that nation. Let's see how this event inspires people: They can? No, we can!
Intrepid Ibex on Berliner Fenster
Berlin's underground waggons are equipped with LCD screens showing news headlines, event tips and local advertisements. This morning those screens catched my attention by suddenly showing a well known wallpaper, making me smile: "Intrepid Ibex - Ubuntu 8.10 - Available now for free - http://www.ubuntuusers.de/" (in German of course).
Well, done guys.
Looking forward to see other Linux ...
Extensive Gimp tutorial on spiegel.de
http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,565794,00.html (german only?) - already on the first page the article shows that this time, somebody did his homework, explaining the difference between stable and dev versions.
It then goes further into detail, in a way you would normally expect from your common computer mag.
I wish there were more articles like that in regular newspaper, if only ...
Back from Istanbul
Back from Istanbul. Wow, what an experience. What a vibrant city, thirsty for life! I still have short flashbacks blending memories from Istanbul into my consciousness. Strange experience. Obviously a sign for how much I enjoyed my time there. Quite a mistake to not convince Ulrike to join me for that trip. Awesome how happy Marc-André was when having me back. For ...
Summer Approaching
This is the first day this year I can work on the balcony.
Seems summer is approaching. Sweet.
Projector for GNOME Events Box
The GTK+ Hackfest has its first positive result already: The GNOME Events Box got a brand new DLP projector. Decision was made to buy one, since renting a projector for a week costs about 200 EUR, wereas you get entry level projectors for only 600 EUR. The Foundation's brand new projector was about 580,99 EUR - including shipment (projector with bag and cables, back side).

Marc-André Hasselmann
Heute Nacht um 0:11, nach fünf Stunden harter Arbeit, durften Ulrike und ich endlich unser Krümmelchen in die Arme schliessen. Der kleine Kerl ist total verschmusst und kerngesund, wog 3630 Gramm bei 53 cm Größe. Ich bin immer noch absolut hingerissen von Ulrikes Leistung und absolut vernarrt in unseren Sohn. Unglaublich welche Vielfalt an Freude, Nervosität, Gelassenheit, Überraschung, ... so ein kleines ...
New Year
A new year started, let's see if it can match the last one.
It did a good start with finally bringing new anti-smoking laws into action. It was an really embarrassing situation, that you had to choose between entering a restaurant/cafe/ice-parlor or keeping your health. It was annoying that you had change clothes immediatly after leaving such a place ...
Playing with Reinteract
Found Owen's Reinteract Demo on Planet GNOME this morning and had to play with it immediately:
Source code: reshell.py and reglade.py.
Update: Some Steve asked for PIL support in Reinteract. The reimage.py module supports PIL images, GDK pixbufs, GTK widgets and file names. Screenshot.
Connected!
Cool, taschenorakel.de is connected to some real server again!
Welcome Back
Well, so I finally have a django based weblog running on taschenorakel. Still have to style it and most content of the old site is missing still. Did I ever mention you shall have recent backups arround?
Wondering when Strato will finally manage it to transfer my domains to this server. Requested the transfer from DeNIC transit just eighteen days ...
